I took the Basic Bike Bonding RiderCourse and Ultimate Bike Bonding RiderCourse at the MSF Campus in Alpharetta, GA. See how I finally conquered that u-turn box at the end of the BBB so you can too, and find out why I'll be back for the police drills of the UBB, the hardest slow speed skills course I have taken this year.

Congrats keep the video content coming
Thank you
I can take those classes because I have cTPSD from injury at work {stress disorder ?} And can`t be around people telling what to do & how to ride your bike!

@@roywalls5595 Hey there, I know how that feels and it's taken a lot of "control through surrender". I hope you can learn to trust yourself to know when to listen and trust others and when to walk away. It was understood that I am always in control, but I had to learn all the rules of the game.
I love Doodle videos. She presents herself as a newbie, but she has taken more classes than probably 80% of riders. Also her enthusiasm is intoxicating. She is also hilarious.
She is passionate about riding and humble... Childish too haha... She is making the roads happier and riders who watch more inspired
she is absolutely brilliant ... ❤❤
The thought has occurred to me this morning that nothing is more important to your continued safety are motorcycle training courses. I have been riding motorcycles for 40 odd years and have worked as a Traffic Police Officer (and had to pass a Police driving safety course.) I was out this morning and twice nearly taken off the road by car drivers who failed to yield to me. (Me on the main road and them coming from a side road at a minor junction. ) Please do as Doodle does regularly, She is an inspiration to the riding community. Please Please Please, take a rider training course, as many times as you can. One day it WILL save your life.
When I started riding and did my MSF courses, I realized that slow turn maneuvers and u turns and right hand turns were really difficult. But when I got up to speed that stuff didn't matter as much so I just ignored improving on those slow speed skills. After watching your videos about your fear of u turns, I realized I have the same fear. So now whenever I go out riding, first thing I do is stop in a parking lot and use the parking spot lines to practice u turns and slow speed maneuvers for at least 20 minutes before I head out and do anything else. I'm improving and feeling better about it and that translates to feeling even better about high speed riding and confidence. Thank you so much for sharing this obstacle and for conquering it because it has affected and improved my riding skills as well. You're awesome!
Something you may have learned from your martial arts training.
A beginner practices until they can do it right. The master practices until they can not do it wrong.
Pick one skill, and practice it on every single ride. Just for 2 minutes or so. Then do it for another skill.
You take on the tough things more than any other channel. Bravo! ! !
You guy's are so cool. I just finished my Harley-Davidson course. I just brought my Harley-Davidson Iron 883 Sportster. Now I'm just weighing for January 13 to get my license I love learning God bless you guy's so cool. 😊🙏
"Great that means you get to do it more" is totally something my dad would say! Love you stuff! Finally getting my bike soon and tomorrow morning doing my first MSF courses! Parents are supporting me too! Dad who hates bikes is taking the course with me to learn and maybe respect the potential safety steps you can take!
Way to go, never give up.....very impressive. And what nice guys helping you out!
I'm envious. Looks like you had an awesome time. That's a great thing.
Can concur that often life gets in the way of our riding practice sessions. Glad you have the time and resources to keep honing the skills you want. Very best wishes!
Love it! The instructors are such sweethearts and so supportive! Congrats
Doodle, I really love hearing and seeing your enthusiasm when you conquer a technical riding skill. The more courses you take the better rider you become and safer. Plus knowledge is power. Have a great weekend.
Ahhh this video is so so awesome, Doodle!! I've been desperately needing to do some serious practicing. I want to practice so many things with my sport bike but sometimes let my fears get the best of me, especially when it comes to dropping it. Thanks for your video!! You're kicking ass!!🎉
Very well done Carolyn 👏👏👏👏 excellent attitude to learning new techniques in riding. Fantastic video too gives you a real feel for what MSF courses are like 👌🙏🤗
I just watched this, Doodle. Thanks for putting up the video. It was great watching you improve through the weekend and sharing in the explosion of joy when you made those U-turns. Keep the rubber side down. Billy
I like your strong determination and enthusiasm in riding. Keep learning always. Stay cool. Slow and steady win the race. Keep that DOODLE SPIRIT BURNING. 👍😁
Good job I’m glad you were able to over come your challenges!! 👍🏼
Absolutely right. More often than not riders forget to strengthen their riding fundamentals. It's mastering the little things that'll make you a more confident rider.
Always have to be learning and practicing! Especially on a motorcycle. Great video. See you on the next one!
Well done on conquering the box 👍🎉 Yep need lots of practice to get it. Lots of cool bikes at the bike course 😎🏍️
Over & over again of not giving up.
Thanks
Congrats!!! You seemed really happy about it. And lol at the end. 😂
Awesome job. Keep attacking your weak points and you gain so much confidence.
It is fun when you figure it out. Any chance I get, I practice. Before I park, before I pull off, or just because. Congrats! Keep going!!!!
Also, your instructors are good. I like them.
I like the conversations you recorded. Bikes, gear, buns, exercises, etc. I enjoyed that part of the MSF course.
Hi Doodle this looked liked a real fun day with a great group of guys. Counter steering does seem to be counter intuitive, but I remember as a 10 year old, doing just that, when racing around a dirt track, it's so easy with the weight of a bicycle. This is where the difficulty comes in, having to push against the weight of your motorcycle, but once over that initial fear, it becomes perfectly natural. I can both see and hear you've mastered the skill, and one definitely needed for dirt riding. Thanks' for a great video, and keep having fun🌹💗🌹
I love the idea of these MSF courses. I'm in WA and you do one-on-one lessons with an instructor, then get your license. While a learner mc rider you have to always have a shadow. These courses really beneficial to have other rider's perspectives and how they deal with the lesson/challenges. I think maybe some clubs have one-off/special group courses every now and then.
Congratulations!
Oh my gosh, Doodle! Watching your excitement causes me to get excited and proud for you. I know that with my Goldwing, it isn’t as easy to do slow maneuvers as other bikes I’ve rode and own. But that’s because it has the brake system that when you apply the back brake, the front caliper also grabs. Too much on the brake pedal and the entire bike will squat like a stubborn farm animal and cause you to topple over. I love your stay positive attitude in situations where you’re challenged!!!
Thank you Carolyne for the inspirational videos. I haven't been riding my bike for months, due to some reasons and winter long gone here haha... But never look away when I am passing by my bike in the garage... always paying it a little stop visit, few words and a gentle friendly touch as to an old friend. Need to change the battery and start rolling... And yes start from the basics as in the video, maybe I start producing video content so you and others can see the middle age guy learning to ride haha :)
Well done!
That monster was 🔥
Great stuff, Doodle!
That's the spirit; Congrats :)
I’m glad you guys did it the right way to get your license by taking the course. I just happen to be lucky living next to a church with big parking lot and just took at the time a brand new 2017 street bob and practiced and took the test and passed to get my endorsement. I traded that bike in got me a 2020 street glide that I still take to church parking lots and practice for 15 minutes and watch joe from ride like a pro, fast Eddie from motojitsu, Dan Dan the fireman videos on YT that are very helpful. But I’m still planning on taking an advanced course in the town I live. Great video and enjoyed watching it.
Great job D 👍👍
Very cool! I find practicing riding skills and honing my discipline keeps riding interesting without the need for insane speeds.
You’re doing great!
Great job Doodle!!! Practice, practice, practice! Never give up. Great video Lady!
Peace.
Ride SAFE and BE safe Doodle!
🙌👏👏👏👌✌🖖🤙👍👋🙂
Inspiring! ❤️❤️❤️
I get so happy for you !
I had a big problem with 20' U-turns when I first started riding. I would always get nervous and slow down too much to keep the bike up or snatch my front brake. After tons of practice in a parking lot everything just clicked. That was 30 years ago, now I can turn around in the width of my driveway on a large motorcycle. I drive a Tiger 900 GT and I am only 5'6" with a 30" inseam.
Always good to learn new things and practice, practice, practice. Watching your videos makes we want to get a 2 wheeler as I own a 3 wheeler. Thinking of getting a Ninja 400 as I haven't ridden a 2 wheeler before. And u said u loved the Ninja and my father owned one in the past.
Congrats on the box! I practice the box every couple of weeks. My bike is difficult because there is no real friction zone for me. I ride a 2019 Goldwing Tour DCT. I'm lucky that my previous Goldwing was of course a manual transmission so I know what the friction zone is supposed to feel like. I emulate that now by throttle vs back brake. That takes a lot of practice to make it smooth.
Just ordered my first bike, a venom x22gt 250cc fully automatic (never learned to clutch).
I'm so excited.
Love it!!! After riding for almost 28 years I am going to practice again. Last time I did real smooth U turns on a parking lot was with the final riding test... 28 years ago....
Whoa!!!!
Awesome. I just picked up new bike and dropped it in the parking lot against a speed bump. Now I have a dented pipe and ego. Gotta keep on learning.
Did the same thing😞. Only, bike was used, but new to me. No dents, dings or scratches. Had it only a couple of days.....Dropped it in my gravel driveway.
Just took my daughter here for BRC ( she passed ) this place and the coaches are great.
Ahh, that lovely 675 whistle 🥰
I took my basic rider course at the same location! I also had coach Jeff he’s a great Instructor, and helped me build a strong foundation!
Nice job Doodle!! For me the biggest keys to slow speed maneuvers are getting right on the friction zone to feather the clutch, and most of all, pointing where I want the bike to go with my chin, turning my head way to the side to make those slow tight U-turns. It sounds weird but give it a try.
Wow everybody seems great!
I went for my msf the last weekend of April and this was my hardest thing to conquer. I had such a problem making those uturns all day but when it was time to take my actual driving test ileveryrhing just clicked and I did it perfectly I was so excited to finally get it.
Perfect timing! 😅
I really enjoy the training content. Even though I commute daily, I've been trying to get back into courses but keep getting wait listed and bumped. Videos like this give me ideas on what to practice on my own, thanks! :)
Have you seen moto jitsu’s phone app? It has exercises and supplementary videos for training on your own
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the tip! :)
Last night or the night before it hit me when I was just doing the snowman turns to just turn the heck out of my head when making the doggone turn and thr turns started to happen. Then my arms and hands got fatigue and stopped. But just keeping my head turned helped me tons. Cool video and happy 4th of July to you😎
Yeah, you go where you're looking. Helped me make tight u-turns, also avoid target fixation in dangerous situations
I could do that S curve at MSF Alpharetta just fine, but was so in my head on the darn u-turn (even though I'd done it on my Shadow 750 before). You had the same instructors I did - Mr. Jeff and Mr. Pete. :)
Continuous skill. Trainig is always essential. True.
What an adorable personality you have. Nice change from the usual grunge riders i follow. Subbed☺
😁
Yo i would like to see more videos of you riding, like long trip rides or any kind of ride, that would be dope.
I started practicing at parking lots with my cones after watching Motojitsu channel. I've gotten a lot better at my slow speed turns, U-turns and swerving. I find it's a combination of body position, where you look and controlling the clutch, brakes (mostly rear for slow speed) and throttle that works best for you.
you go Doodle, I like how you keep wanting to learn.
great skills practice
So cool I need to take some classes and Alpharetta is so close wow so nice to know this place is here! I am waiting for my Title for my bike but while I'm waiting I might go ahead and get my M license since it has been several years since I had a class M license.
Yes definitely!!
It’s really simple if you got the basics right. Increase revs for some extra gyro effect stability (use more clutch to compensate), use rear break and counter balance with body.
Perfect job saludos
I need to take that class. I just bought a 2019 FTR S
I really want to take some more training courses. I've been riding for about 5 years and only did the basic rider course to get my license. I know I've grown into some bad habits... Time to look at what's available near me!
I know when I was doing the box the one thing I used to tell my students was get in a good head turn and get that but cheek off the seat. If your turning left that right cheek should be off the seat and vise versa. I actually showed them on my 08 fat bob. But a good head turn makes a huge difference.
Good job doodley
Nice vid!! Thanks for the shoutout!!
Thanks for the tips you probably didn’t even know you were sharing! 🤪
Godbless you + Godbless your coaches..
💎🏋️♂️💕🌞😎🙌
D,
Check out Robert Simmons paying it forward. He’s down in s Georgia and has practice sessions on weekends. Not far from you. His channel is growing leaps and bounds. Love your channel!
"This must be pretty exhausting?" Doodle says, not really, then crashes on bed at 5:44pm! haha
🤪
haha like every sweet child does... Really bike riding is maybe one of teh biggest grown up people child game...
Just passed my msf. I had done a bunch of u-turns on an enduro before I took the class. I had some trouble being on a street bike instead of an enduro on the u-turns though. I also got really nervous not being on the same type of bike.
Congrats on turning an enemy box into a friend box. Maybe I should find a box friend:)
Those instructors are super nice
I'm going to go to the course in Buford in March! Once I can get the hang of the basics I might have to go there. Is that where the antique store used to be? Near Redd's liquor store?
I’m motorcycle it’s always a practice practice practice practice it’s a never end thing. even I still do practice every time
Haha. Doodle, when I first read the title I totally skimmed over and didn't see the "s" in MSF.
Great vid! You are my American "variant" (hope you watch Loki). 6 years riding this year and I am 3 courses in. Loving advance courses and nailing what I know in theory but not realizing in practice. Although two of my courses are bit hooligan (wheelie school and knee down course - and I still ride like Mrs Daisy!).
Hey I’d love a wheelie school! 😜
Wheelie endorsement on your motorcycle license 😋
@@fallinginthed33p haha I feel cheated now!
Been riding all of a solid week on my 2022 Honda ADV150 (auto obviously) and was having trouble with leaning while turning & taking off after stopping. I chose the ADV for its simplicity and didn’t want to start out on anything bigger than a 200cc.
Once I get a few years under my belt, I’m eyeballing the Honda NC750X DCT 😉 since I can start out on auto with it, then swap over to manual when I’m ready to learn how to use a clutch.
I came to realize after hopping on that it requires you to lean it just like a typical motorcycle since there isn’t a foot floor like most scooters.
From what I’ve seen, most scooter riders don’t need to lean too far/only have to shift their weight or twist their hips, maybe I’m wrong about that but from what I’ve witnessed, this is the case. The ADV has what I call foot boards and your legs are up against the fuel tank.
Anyway, last night I conquered my fear of stopping smoothly and taking back off again as well as leaning it more! Went to a parking lot and practiced about 30 mins, then stopped at 4 stop signs without issues. Muscle memory from over 20yrs of riding a mountain bike has helped tremendously so it feels like a lot of it has come naturally to me.
Gonna practice my leaning/turning more this evening along with countersteering. Not comfortable attending a MSF/MREP course yet.
I’ll prolly teach myself for a bit & go take my test for my endorsement before I do anything like that, so I’ll just take an advanced scooter course in 6mos. Don’t have $200 to throw around right now so I’ll just spend the $55 for my endorsement test
Lol
Practice makes perfect!
SUCH A GENUINE WOO HOO =D
This is just preference, but I find it easier to turn tighter using the rear brake then modulating the clutch so much when doing the tight stuff. Now that being said every bike is different in their feel and throttle sensitivity in the slow speed low revs.
Hi idol, watching here
Rider from philippines
YAaaaaaayyyyY! Doodle On A Motorcycle!
what is that red bike in pic 6? i'm gonna check out all these vids. thanks!
That’s the same place I took my MSF course.
👍👊
He’s right about the gloves!! The palm is the first thing to hit!!!!! It’s called A BENNETS fracture when it happens. Did to me only noticed after the fact when I took my glove off and my thumb fell down completely away from my hand!!!!!
Also …. Crash bungs are ok, but….. they can cause more damage than you think, if you crash, they smash your legs to pieces, and Can rip the bolts out of your engine, and can warp, and break your frame.
Do some research before buying them, I hear covers are the best, or covers with added pieces.
R&G make the classic ones. Just sayin.
Handroid Gloves from KNOX are the Gold Standard if it’s interesting for you!
Nice vids
OH MY GAWWWWWDD 😨
Practice makes Doodle .... laugh! :D
I've got a lot of practicing ahead of me to learn the new ride (whatever that becomes) but that's fun too. Get some rest kid.
Now I want to do the other courses. But I'm not sure which bike I want to do it on. lol.
🤪
Ho Doodle. I just saw your msf-video, and I just have to ask.. are these exercises optional? Here they are mandatory prior to aquiring a license.
U turn, figure 8, and 270deg turn are especially difficult on a Street Triple. I can do them well on a Tiger 900 and a GS 1250, but I can't do them well on my Street Triple.
Whoooa!!
yep practice practice as Motojitsu says
Some guy said is all in your head , there .
Rumor has it Future doodle is still sleeping it off
😂
6:10 because Ducati stopped putting dry clutches in their street bikes, right?
the ending 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm early!
counter steering or push steering is your friend ...
Remember that fist-bump in a roundabout?😊
No… 😋
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle hahaha. ...yea ya do👊
Woo-hoo. I'll be in your neck of the woods tomorrow (probably less that 30 miles away)
You takin’ a class? 🤪
