Jerry’s videos are well worth the money spent. I have watched hours of his you tube. Now I have his videos. Get them.
I've been riding for couple of months now. I watch your videos and practice every day. Some experience riders don't believe that I'm new to motorbikes when they see me doing U turns or low speed maneuvers. You take all the credit, Sir!
Are you working on the 2nd hour of the Ride Like a Pro video yet? Completing that section will put you in the top 2% of riders.
You must be new, calling them motorbikes. Is this the 50's with you wild kids and your motorbikes?
@@bepriceless He probably still use a rotary phone too!
bepriceless your comment was so helpful...thanks 🙄

how good do you want to be, I started riding fairly late in life, I bought my first motorcycle at age 46, since then probably put on about 15000 miles, mostly city riding, I thought I was pretty good because I never laid my bikes down, after seeing my first Jerry P video, I almost laid it down 15 secs into the first exercise, after binge watching a ton of his videos, I realized I'm a noob, I try to practice his exercises a little bit everyday and I'm a way better rider than I was 2 months ago, thank you Jerry.
Your riding skills are amazing, it’s like a dance, smooth, deliberate and with control. I just happen to see one of your videos this morning and now I’m binge watching all of them. I’m riding again after a 11 year hiatus and these videos alone are very informative and I’m sure your instructional DVD’s are a great tool for someone like me. I appreciate your life saving tips, thank you.
Thanks Jerry,
I just my 2nd Ultra Classic but slow-speed turns remain something I can always improve on. Great stuff.
Glad to help
Binge watching Jerry as a new rider and i already feel much more confident lol
Thanks! I'm a new motorcycle guy and asked my friend exactly what you talked about. If I should be using my clutch on turns. He said he didn't know and just keep doing it and you'll figure it out. Prefer your answer!
Great job jerry you make it look easy . My son is in the police motorcycle division and he is training now On the obstacles and he’s been riding for years but it’s one of the hardest things he’s done with a motorcycle yet
Good stuff Sir! Respect from a 2019 Softail Slim owner.
Hi Jerry,really love all your vids! I’ve been riding for a year and a half now and been practicing your techniques for about a year.I always practice slow speed maneuvering at least once or twice a week being that it’s a perishable skill if not used often I think.I always see riders dragging their feet and struggling with low speed maneuvers and encourage them to use these techniques and watch your videos.Like you say,riding is so much more fun when you know what the hell you’re doing! Keep all the great videos coming!!!!!🏍😎👍
"How good do.you wanna be?"
Jerry sums it up.right there
Practice
Thank you for real informative video's for not just new riders, but guys like me that have been on two wheels for over 40yrs. Luckily I grew up in the Country, and a farmer kid. Well there was only dirt bikes in the early 70's to ride so I learned balance in the off road. I am a firm believer that off road riding is a great way for street riders to learn many things you show in your videos. I have raced MX, Enduro, and even dabbled in Trials Bikes over the years. Hopping the bike in a circle without taking your feet off the pegs...that's a learning curve..hahaha! My street bike a Boulevard S83 has a VERY grabby clutch and it is hydraulic also. It makes shifting down for corners dangerous and I rev match the engine to do it safely..It is like an on off switch. I read that it is a common issue. I imagine and am going to test some different clutch springs this season to make it better...Thanks again...new sub.
Beautifully done indeed. Always like your tips, thank you.
Motorman, your videos are amazing. I'm loving your DVD (The New Ride Like A Pro), but your CZcams videos are always entertaining and informative, too. I tell everybody about them. It's amazing how many people, when I start to talk about problems in the parking lot (in other words, low-speed maneuvering) start to nod and say, "Me, too!" I've turned a few people on to your videos, hopefully they get the DVDs.
I'm certainly not among the "top 2% of riders" yet--can't do a 24-foot circle, but I can manage a 28-foot--but I'm certainly improving. Thanks so much for these!
You should come to my class. I'll have you turning in 18ft in an hour and a half.
Where is your class sir? I would like to make those turns like you do.

Wish i watched these videos before my MSF course last week . I never rode a motorcycle before it and passed but the figure 8's in blue box were tough for me . We had 1 Instructor for 2.5 day course for 8 of us , not sure if that's usual SOP ? I guess he did his best with lots of info being given to us in a short period of time. Instructor never mentioned using just rear brake and friction zone during figure 8 and other slow speed maneuvers but maybe he didn't know. I bet i would have done much better if i used this technique. Will be getting DVD soon . Thanks Motorman
When MSF instructors want to really learn how to ride, they come to my course.
Awesome teacher and so bloody humbling =)
Funny, over here we learn NEVER to use tge clutch on slow speed turns and manouvring but to use a constantly engaged rear brake and use the throttle to adjust the speed while keeping the rear brake on. This is even an actual exam item, special manouvring.
I always used the clutch, not the rear brake and everyone says i'm crazy....now this video proves i'm not! hahaha!
I just bought a 2006 police bike , an i wont to get as good as motor man
I'm hitting the like button even before seeing the videos. Would love to be in one of your classes! Have you ever thought about coming to Brazil to teach your techniques, Sir?
Love these small great videos very informative
Great info and advice thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your tips, man!
and most secret of stability is a half\full throttle. it works like a gyroscopic effect.
Nice video and gave you a thumbs up.
I wanna be as good as you...I better get outside now and practice☺
Yes. Yes you should. Right now. Move along now. Nothing to see here.
Really thank you 🙏
Can you expand a bit on throttle control? On video it sounds like you're revving the engine intermittently instead of maintaining a constant throttle input? Yes? Or are my ears deceiving me?
You can do either. What ever works better for you. What you don't want to do is be at idle, and put pressure on the rear brake. Doing that, will cause the bike to stall and down you go.
This is what they teach the police, and you do need to learn good clutch and brake control, but if you do this regularly, you will also be replacing your clutch plates regularly.
I do this regularly and I've never burned a clutch. Now, if you're a doofus and rev your motor to 4 or 5 thousand RPM's and stand on the rear brake, you'll burn the clutch, but that's the least of doofus's problems.
Have you used a Honda stateline on the corse 70" wheel base
Great tips 👍
Good stuff Sir!!
Great video. Currently riding a 2017 Indian Springfield. While in a slow turn I find myself opening up my knee in the direction of the turn. When I notice this it immediately feel weird. Should knees be neutral or slightly griping tank? Thx for the great information.
Hi Jerry this is Josh and I have a possible common question. I have a blind hill if you are approaching from the right or left, so how do I navigate over it? I have a secondary road to my house but that is the quickest and shortest route to get to my house.
Travel at a speed that will allow you to stop within your site distance.
Thank you, it sounded like your were reving the throttle a little up and down while in the friction zone, or is that preferred, or should you keep the throttle constant? Jon
You can use either method. Using the constant throttle blip allows me to ride more aggressively as seen and heard in police rodeos in this link czcams.com/video/RkUFBVwwiEk/video.html
I want to be good enough to where I don’t get killed!
I bought my first Harley 3 days ago. I've riden dual sport bikes exclusively. A 760lb Road king is COMPLETELY a different beast. Damn this bike is 3-4 times the weigh of an endro.
I road 175 miles home with it and it's been raining or snowing ever since. Do you have classes in California? After the fake flu disaster is over that is.
Sorry no classes on Ca. but the Ride Like a Pro video has what you need. ridelikeapro.com
I really like that technique, and want to practice it. One question are you talking about a circle measuring 30 feet from each side to side (or should I double that), or the circumference of it? Thanks.
Have a helper hold a tape measure at zero, you walk out to 15ft walk in a circle and put chalk marks down every few feet and you'll have a 30 ft circle.
Appreciate it.
Mr. Jerry, I need your advice on downshifting from higher gears to make a 90 degree turn at an intersection. No one has posted anything about utilizing the clutch. Do you apply the clutch or not before the turn?
Depending on what kind of bike you have and the size of the intersection but 2nd gear for most situations should do it.
Ride Like a Pro Jerry Palladino Thank you Sir!
How long can you do that without it wearing on the clutch?
Does riding in friction zone burn up a clutch
No.
Ride Like a Pro Jerry Palladino then I’m starting to tomorrow
@@danstrausbaugh6430 This is the answer I give to riders that ask me about riding the clutch from my FAQ area on my website: No, as long as you give your bike a "breeze out" after every 5 or 10 minutes of practicing. That is, ride around the parking lot, get your bike into 2nd or 3rd gear and breeze out the engine, staying off the rear brake and clutch, giving them a chance to cool down. Keep your revs low, around 1200 to 1500 rpms and you will be fine.
Ride Like a Pro Jerry Palladino thank you for responding I have a 91 goldwing that has 24,000 mi and I had concerns about the clutch , love your videos I’ve really improved my riding but no where near where I want to be what gets me in trouble is turning onto a street from a hill ... I struggle with that I’m not bringing up enough rpm I think before I let the clutch out . Any suggestions ...
I have difficulty on my ultra in u turns
I have used throttle/clutch control + back brake for all my low-speed maneuvers, as taught in the BRC, years ago; however, I am considering buying a bike (BMW R1200C) that has fully integrated brakes. i.e. back brake applies front brake. My guess is to lay off the brakes and only use throttle/clutch control. thoughts?
Linked brakes have no affect on the dragging the rear brake. The bike I'm riding in this video has linked brakes also.
hey new rider, ive grown fond of doing friction zone clutching with index and middle, while keeping ring and pinky around my handle. just incase i let out to much and the bike pulls away i dont lose my grip. id like to hear your opinion on that. thanks!
4 fingers on the clutch for the best control. End of story.
You are best
Do you have advice with slow speed riding with DCT such as Honda GoldWind?
Use the throttle and a little rear brake. Try using 2nd or 3rd gear for low speed turns.
Thanku 🙂
Can you show a full lock turn?
I have a few dozen on youtube on my channel. Some even from a full stop. Check out some more of my video's
Amazing. Wish we had such riding lessons in India. I ride a 2016 Street Glide Special. Anyway we can work something out for my club? We have 190 Touring Riders in my club.
Also by the way what lights are you running under the back of your tour pack? I really loven them blinkers.
The lights are from showbikelights.com Being from India you would be best to purchase the digital downloads.
thank you so much.
did leave all the donut marks on the tarmac, show us that please
i just can’t do that! i do not get it. that is such a difficult part. yesterday i dropped my bike AGAIN. my problem is: when i brake i somehow manage to speed up - throttle (excuse my broken english). so i brake and at the same time i touch the throttle. 😔😫
Sounds like you need to get my Ride Like a Pro, two hour video. Find it here ridelikeapro.com
#badassary
Did you used to be or are you still a police officer?
Is that with the new hydraulic clutch system.
Yes it is.
@@motorman857 Hello, I see that youi're using the HogLeverage.com adjustable clutch - do you use all of the inward adjustment?
@@billmoffitt7411 I have it on number 4
Y r left u turns and leaning to my left fill more easy then making right u turns .. left I’m tight right not so tight fells like the bike is going down ..
Sounds like you need to practice more to the right then.
No wonder i find it hard to di those hateful 8 figurines I'm using a 15 fr space to do so. 🙄 I should it had started on a 30 ft space instead
this policeman would be in the saddle 8 hours perday in s stressful riding environment.Drive to survive,and come back home to his family like the rest of us .
Jerry, me thinks you need to charge that battery, Your starter is barely turning it over.
Thought hes a cop
For 26 years. Now retired.
I just pull the clutch in all the way.make the turn then let it out
