A look at an Advanced Motorcycle Course

Filmed in 2005 as a project for a college student - a look at a one day advanced motorcycle course. This then developed into me producing my Ride to Survive DVD

Well, I can tell you right off that they are riding on the wrong side of the road. Ride on the right and get some really loud mufflers. That's how we do it here :-)

@Miata822 I will be back in Normandy in April 2012 for some Ride on the Right filming and I might have a new exhaust can fitted by then.....

I am an instructor myself, i was not trying to be disrespectful only my humble opinion:)

Can i ask, do you make the driver aware of his mistakes-what can be corrected or perfected- at the end of the day? I do, hoping that they know it is trying to help them, make sure they are aware sort of speak. I love to watch your videos though, i love to learn new things EVERY day! :) Safe miles!

[advancedbiker]

@Draslay31 - Youtube is an open forum for me and all comments are welcome. For me the course satrts with the initial contact and then the rider is sent via e-mail a sel evaluation form. I nee t find out any good or weak areas of their riding. When we meet up then I can see if the form is true to form. During the day they are given debriefs, but with bike to bike comms feedback is instant and recorded. I tend to debrief and encourage as we ride along.

[Draslay31]

with all do respect, the instructor keeps driving BEHIND the person in front of him, a good driver keeps switching his position in his lane to observe as MUCH AS POSSIBLE!! Smooth = SAFE!

@Draslay31 - I can see where you are coming from, but this vid is just a small section of the project the student did. I let him do anything so he could make the project, I only provided the on road footage

@Vape4life Interesting!

I could *PROBABLY* control the bike, my problem is pain. ANY activity makes it worse.

Night of accident Docs wanted to amputate - I refused.

Doc said "you'll regret this" - he was RIGHT.

I see people run marathons on a stump, I can't walk to the bathroom w/o pain.

NOW I *WANT* them to amputate, so NATURALLY they won't.

I still hope for a fix, if not, well - I can fix it so they have no choice but to amputate what's left.

This option keeps me from eating a gun some days...

@dedicateddad Have you ever looked into the Can Am Spyder?

[pomplumber]

the positive side of motorcycling

[beanmike206]

OH SHIT. Thats just up the road from where I live :O

[dedicateddad]

24x7x365 pain, worse with any walking.

She walked away - I thank G*d every day.

My point?

NEVER GET CONFIDENT.

MOST CRITICAL: Make damn sure you know your passenger, think with the BIG head.

Me? I'll NEVER ride another passenger, EVER.

With pass, ONLY option is "try to ride it out."

150k+ miles on bikes, several wipeouts but none serious.

One stupid moment with one "panic-attack" woman, life changes forever.

You're NEVER too good 4 instruction, Nigel should get some to help his blind-spots.

[dedicateddad]

I've seen your comments saying you've learned this lesson - BUT...

YOU RIDE TOO D@#N CLOSE!

I'd pull over 2 ask you 2 back off, then refuse to ride with you if you did it again.

I've not ridden for ~2 years. 7/02,passenger panicked, took us down. Skidding across center-line, I planted foot & kicked us back into our lane @ ~60mph.

Tibial-plateau shattered. Near amputation, living on narcotics since.

Total knee replaced 3/08 @ age 42, bad result, crippled.

24x7 pain.

Would ride NOW if I could
