  • Yes.

  • All the bikes in his videos are big heavy bikes. I just bought my first bike (yamaha xt225) and have under 20 miles of experience. Do these techniques work on small little bikes like mine? I don't have floor boards to drag like him.

  • I got to ride with Jerry Motorman Palladino and Donna Palladino May 09 at Leesburg!

  • Hey there's all of my friends riding together. Toby and Lynn are super riders in their own right. Super job everyone! Some people try to over analyze these techniques, but listening and practicing are the main key. Pam and I are looking forward to riding with you guys again.

  • Savior250psi onboard tire compressor will help your handling by keeping the proper tire pressure

  • i remember the first time i rode a motorcycle... on a '99 fatboy... i thought i was pretty good till i saw this man... ive only been practicing since im only 14, but this guy knows his stuff...

  • They are heavy bikes.. and these techniques really work with a little practice.

  • They look like heavy bikes. I bet there is a bit of counter steering involved.

  • Countersteering takes place at speeds above 15mph, what they are doing is handlebar steering since the speed is below 15mph.

  • Actually countersteering takes place at anyspeed, the difference in below 15 mph is we dont have enough centrifugal force to equal the force of gravity, so gravity would get the better of us but it don't stop us momentaraly using it to flick it over, saying that at low speeds there is less gyroscopic force on the wheels allowing the bike to be turned easily. Handlebar steering must mean to turn into a bend to add the missing inertia force to keep the bike up. Don't get confused with what i said.

  • let's just agree to disagree. Countersteering takes place at speeds above 15mph. I learned from a motor officer and I'll take his word to the bank. Counter balancing is what you are referring to. When the rider shifts his/her weight.

  • I have watched the video "Ride like a Pro" a dozen times by this man. I've learned how to do correctly what I just thought I already knew after riding many years. He knows his stuff. You will save a butt busting or two if you follow his professional directions.He teaches things you do not get in most safety courses and can really be used on the roads.So much to learn I watch it to refresh my skills.I started riding at 11 and I'm 66 now and much safer. Great video -Respectfully-Old ED

  • Great video, I'll try these techniques tomorrow :D

  • In reality, it is best to learn on a dirt/trail bike first. Asphalt is an unforgiving place to learn. Always start small and work your way up over time. Those who make the biggest mistake by the big street bike first.

  • I've always wanted to ride, until I tried one day and wrecked. I think a course like this would have been a good idea.

  • Love your Riding. I actually took a MSF course,( over 5 years ago) that taught these techniques. And I've been using them ever since. Very easy, and very clean looking. No sloppy turns, evasions, or U-Turns.

    Thanks for the Best Riding Years of my Life!
