right because it becomes muscle memory but we want to remember the techniques to continuously apply and strengthen those skills and teach others

I swear 💯

yes the brain is a muscle after all. we are bound to forget something.

I come back here for the laughs. Jerry has a wicked sense of humor along with the pearls of wisdom.

For me it’s having never dropped while rolling (ya, parking 0 kph drops twice...). Safe and fun!

For me it’s no going into the ditch and make it home safely fuck what other people think

What you don't see is that they are one in the same.

Well it looks alot more badass to see a bike cracked wide open screaming then it is seeing one doing like 10 mph

Yes. All that low speed push pull, leaning the bike not yourself and ESPECIALLY using the clutch so the bike isn't fighting you and you can really throw it around quickly like a big bicycle is what you wind up using to avoid accidents. Known too many guys who loved twisting the throttle and doing wheelies and stuff but never really learned how to fully control the motorcycle, so a car hood comes out in front of them or some other unexpected thing eventually and they can't avoid it because all they know to do is grab the breaks. There's hundreds of videos on here of that. I always recommend taking a riding course for people just getting into or back into bikes so they have a full arsenal of skills beyond just shifting in the powerband and cutting a nice apex through a curve.

Harley riding academy are just bunch of money grabber ZlONIST, learn to ride bike yourself

I started by myself then went to abate and finished but I still watch these videos to see what areas I can improve in

I was lucky enough to get into one of Harley's classes where the instructor was a retried motor cop as well Basically everything that came out of their mouth was identical to what these videos have been saying lol

@Doc Holliday68 I loved my riding instructors when I took my class at HD. They paid for my class when I got my bike too so no extra money from me.

I agree with you. I never had training. Thanks to Jerry I now can practice techniques to stay safe

You wrecked because you’re stupid

Your welcome. Now imagine if you purchase my Ride Like a Pro video which has 2 hours of detailed instruction for a mere 20 bucks. ridelikeapro.com

Glad to know I've helped.

Wow. So impressive

Wow.. I am so impressed

How often do you drop it in a parking lot and how do you practice? Maybe any advice how to start "parking lot training" :))

Nothing better than fatherly advise.

Sounds like a wise man .

You both are right.

Always keep a humble students mind. Cocky know it all’s are always the ones who fall the hardest.

Amen brother!

64 here too! Keep the rubber side down.

Man are you stupid

You are correct. And they do just fine until something gets in their way and they have to stop and or, swerve. Then, if they live, they quit riding and say motorcycles are too dangerous.

@@motorman857 And when they try to stop or swerve, 90% of them are afraid to use the front brakes.... they lock up the rear, hence the phrase,"I HAD to lay 'er down". I have bought MANY a used bike over the years, and ALWAYS, the back brakes are toast, sometimes the rotors too, but the front brakes look as if they have never been used.

thank you, we appreciate it.

@@motorman857 Thank you a lot! I have a question. Why don't you use turn signals? or your motorcycle has not appropriate lamp

Hi, Jerry, just wanted to do some gay ass kissing to make myself look like a total asshole…

Thank you.

Nevertheless in Belgium the use of motorcycle is forbidden... Assuming that it is more dangerous than other transport media; I already ride motorcycle for more than 30 years making more or less 10.000 kms a year without any accident. Riding a bycicle is not forbidden... where is the error???

It’s definitely what kept me sane during lockdown👍🏽

Yeah, no need to feel embarrassed. People all make mistakes, and if someone hasn’t then they are fortunate but not better than someone else.

You are suppose to subscribe, that's how he makes a few bucks

@@akaitsmedre Oh. Didn't know. That's cool. Thanks for letting me know.

Hope that’s a about to change braggart

The increased engine speed DOES NOT create a gyroscopic affect. That's an old wife's tale. Prove it to yourself by holding the bike up without the kickstand and revving the engine. Then let go and see if the bike falls over.

Doofus is as doofus does

Me too brother and it’s Hell when I’m a hill and needing to take a hard right or left These videos have definitely helped my confidence

😂😂

Hahahahaha Same

Cannot get the horses head out of my mind....

That's when I hit subscribe

I laid mine down when I was just BARELY, I do mean Barely, touching my front brake and didn't see the Black Plastic inner fender laying right in the road at an intersection. I've been riding since 1968 and not been down for decades...This kind of thing can happen to anyone so don't feel too badly JARED. Very sorry you got hurt and I feel even luckier now. I still look at the scraping marks on the Chrome Goldwing Engine Protector BARS and it reminds me to keep an eye out for black plastic inner fenders in my path....Can you even ever imagine such a thing? It is about as absurd as your MOSS....Yeah, I've seen plenty of MOSS so I get it Jared, Believe me. I do get that one.

It's been my experience that people who say they are afraid of wearing out their clutch, or the ''experienced'' riders who say you should never use the friction zone, are really saying,''I'M SCARED I WON'T BE ABLE TO DO IT''. So they use that as an excuse. Or the, ''I'm not going to drop MY bike''. ''That's why I don't want to take any training''.I've heard all the excuses thru the years.

Thank you.

I wish you a speedy recovery my friend & hope you’re able to heal totally & fully. I went down august of last year. I had a car that did a pretend stop in the median & then jumped right out in front of me. I knew instantly & instinctively that brakes were gonna be of no use in this particular scenario & tried to swerve to avoid the collision, would of been a success too, except only now does the dumb bitch finally see what she has done & Hits her brakes causing me to slam into her anyway. The end result was a broken & dislocated right ankle & every bone in my right foot shattered requiring me to wear an external fixator for months & have four surgeries. I’m just thankful that this negligent driver was in a car I was able to fly over after the collision. Had she been in a SUV there is not a doubt in my mind I would of been injured beyond repair or dead, since I wouldn’t of been able to clear the height of a SUV after the initial impact & would of slammed into the side of it. I’ve always been a super athletic in shape person, my muscles have muscles. Now I’m never going to be able to have races with my son, go on jogs with him etc....The mental anguish of losing a lot of my dexterity & athleticism that I took great pride in has been just as bad if not harder than my actual physical recovery. In my mind I’m still the man I’ve always been but in my body that is no longer the case. Such a tough pill to swallow mentally. I’ve been riding motor bikes since I was 5yrs old. I’m not trying to brag at all. I’m just stating facts to any young person who may read this. I’ve put 50,000 plus miles on numerous bikes. These accidents can happen to anyone & your skill set & safety rating will play a lot less of a factor than you might like to think. Stay Safe Brothers & sisters

An emergency stop on a bagger is really hard to do. The bigger the bike the harder it is to stop.

@@hondaguy425able I hear ya! All that weight shifts to the front wheel.

I always find it easier to complete the stop with the rear brake and put my left foot down only. There are exceptions, but this is generally the rule for me.

Feels like I would drop my bike but it’s pretty heavy.

Welcome aboard!

Back in 77 I was in a band that practiced in a garage on Kitten trail. It was hell driving down that street back then. It sure has changed.

@@motorman857 Now we need another video.Tell us something about the band Days! Is that how you wound up in Florida?

Cool story Rick, glad she was a keeper. 👍🏻

Luckily my instincts are HORRIBLE.

zrxgrim I have conflicted feelings about that haha

@@ron_grimes I always say, go R push R go L push L..that's how you live to ride another day.

@@jangles55 talk to me

@@jerryhullinger3712 What you want to talk about Jerry?

Thanks for sharing!

Low-speed manoeuvring on any class of motorcycle is part of the compulsory training for a motorcycle licence in Europe.

You're welcome.

Don’t need some washed up old man to teach me “ not how to lay down my bike “

Anyone who drops their bike is a total idiot

U-turn is totally unnecessary if you know what you’re doing

Please don't break your rear.

I have two Wings, a 1000 and a 1200. The 1200 has that linked brake thing and I just can't get used to it! Like you said, I was taught to drag the rear brake for slow manoeuvres and that just doesn't work if one of the front discs is also dragging.

I don't know how it looks in the US, but here, in the UK if you can't do a U-turn or a figure of 8 without putting your feet on the ground, you won't pass your licence test, so they actually teach you all that friction zone stuff and slow speed maneuvers.

@@tomekkruk6147 same here. Unfortunately, most take their license test using a small 125cc or 250cc borrowed motorcycle. I believe you should have to test on the bike you want to ride. I personally took my test on a BMW R1100S. The proctor looked at me as if I was crazy. This was in 2004. I passed first time, but I put a lot of practice in to be sure that I did.
