- This past week I had some time to train Megan of Megs motorcycle journey, youtube channel. In this video you'll see that size and strength or the weight of a motorcycle, means nothing. It's all technique. WARNING: WE RAN OUT OF OUR BOOK WITH THE COLOR PHOTOS AT 6:30 pm EST, 1-22-2022, SATURDAY EVENING. IF YOU ORDERED AFTER THAT TIME, YOU WILL STILL RECEIVE OUR BOOK, BUT THE PHOTOS ARE IN BLACK AND WHITE. Thanks everyone! to order our book, www.ridelikeapro.com

Meg is obviously a top student but huge credit to Jerry for knowing just what to say in order to both guide and encourage.
Meg's years of gymnastics training would prepare her well for Jerry's course, because she's put her body on the line every time she stepped out on the mat. The other advantage Meg has is, she's used to being coached, and understands the dynamic that the coach's job IS to criticize your performance. Not to hurt your feelings, but to point out where you can improve, and how you can go about doing it. That's why putting your kids in youth sports is valuable throughout their whole lives.
" She used to look good to me. Now I found her, Simply Irresistible. " - Robert Palmer
Having Crash bars goes a long way with reducing fear. IF you don't have to worry about tearing one up, then it allows you to take risks. Going these low speeds you might get a scrape, but highly unlikely to get seriously hurt. Its one thing to do it when you don't have to pay for any damage, its another when you are putting 100% of your investment on the line. Give me $1,000 and I will take all kinds of chances in a casino, But with my own money, very few chances would I take.
You go Meg. Great job. We in the motorcycle community are so fortunate to have Jerry being so willing to share his knowledge of riding with the rest of us. I profit so much from these videos and when I practice I feel so much more confident on my bike. I would have never dared to ride like this without Jerry’s instruction and coaching.
Meg picked it back up in short order. You can visibly see her confidence return as she progresses through the course. It does help to have a pro who is challenging her.
Honestly the ride like a pro book is Truly a great book, The classes are even better.
Yeah Jerry, ya sure have a tough job, LOL!! One thing about it, you are teaching her skills that can, and will, SAVE HER LIFE SOMEDAY!! God bless you and Donna Jerry!!
Well done Meg! Amazing rapid results! Looking forward to taking his class this year.
Been using your techniques head turn and eyes with friction zone for two years and have improved my riding and the joy of it. Ty. Bob P
I've seen many women riders take directions better than men. Men just think they can muscle it around.
Meg is a good rider Jerry. You did a great job helping her along Sir. As always peace my friend !
Thanks to you i got a bike again. I Live in France retired lots of nice places to go and sée. Last time i had a bike was over 40 years ago. Got my self a Kawasaki Vulcan 650 not that mad. Thanks to you i have no problèmes
You know what? If we show up at a class like this, we can take some tough love. Bring it on, Jerry - it is why we come to these events! Good teaching, you´re not even close to getting abusive. Just effective. I like it.
You Sir are an excellent teacher. You didn't let "her" distract you and kept it fun and professional. Kudos!
I've seen a couple of her video's on UA-cam. Great job Megan. Great video! Can't wait for Spring so I can get back on the bikes and practice. 😎
ATENTION! As of this moment 6:35 PM E/S time 1-22-22, the Ride Like a Pro books with color Photos are sold out. If you order after 6:36 PM you will receive the Ride Like a Pro book, with black and white photos. We have sold over 150 books since this video was posted. Remember I did state in the video, ''offer good until we run out of colored books'' once we run out, you will still get your book, but the photos will be black and white.
Missed the color book for a few hours! (btw, the ride like a pro video is second to none !!)
I find that type of humour very beneficial in teaching environments.
She is what I call talented and a natural,if I seen her ride like that I would say she's has 20 years on a bike .very talented and great video!
She does look good! Good job too
I love Meg I watch her channel. She has inspired me to learn to ride this year.
Great video Jerry and awesome reminders. Great job Meg!!
Good coaching Jerry and great advice I like the way you don't sugar coat anything you say it like it is great instructor and Megan did a great job thanks for sharing take care
if I tell people they are doing great when they aren't, who would that help? I pride myself on explaining simply, what the rider did wrong, and most important, how to correct their mistakes. And if I can make the student laugh at the same time, all the better.
I’ve seen a bunch of Megs videos and it’s hard to tell how much she has improved in a year, but the enthusiasm is infectious and I hope inspires others to ride more… we need more people on two wheels, what better way to see America?
. . .and Canada
Ive been following your channel for a while and I just ordered the book! Can't wait for your class to come to California!
Amazing how smooth baggers can be no matter what your size good job to the ladies Meg, Her two wheels and Doddle practice takes the fear away 🇺🇸🐾🍻 let’s ride
I miss riding. Probably lost a lot of my skills...in the past 3 years of not riding.
Cofident motorcycle riding skills are a perishable, Keep Practicing.
I see this a lot in even more experienced riders, keep your feet up. The Only time your feet should touch the ground is once your bike comes to a Complete Stop.... that is a stop without a roll through...
Prior to my stopping of riding (due to a great number of bad incidents from inattentive four wheel drivers), (lower New York State is not a bike friendly area), My skill set for riding my FXST was very high and constantly improving, just from paying attention to your videos and using your teachings to better my obstacle drive-arounds.
The "Dip" is extremely important for tight roads, alleyways, and driving on motorbike only roads.
Thank you for keeping all of us informed and up-to-date on the proper techniques of becoming great motorcyclists.
Thanks for posting about the book; picked up a copy!!
Thanks Motorman and Meg.
Very interesting video. I am in my mid 50s and recently decided to get back into bike riding again after a 25 year break and I was so rusty with slow and tight turns for a while. I used to ride off road mostly way back then doing trials and trail riding. She looks so tiny on that big bike, great rider!
Meg’s being in great physical shape all her life is always been an advantage to her in everything she does. Yes being a gymnast all these did her great. 👍
Meg and Michael (cameraman) are a great UA-cam creators and I believe life long friends. Her Chanel has come so far in the past year and it's great to see her with The Master! LOL! She already has great balance because of her gymnastic training. She seems to be a very competitive young lady which I think makes her fearless.
I like the white seat. . .it won't get so hot in the bright sunshine. She is a terrific rider.
Thanks Motor Man, This was by far one of your best vedios. Thank you Sir, And thank you Megan, Richie from Long Island
“Jerry’s having me back because he’s such a generous wonderful man and very tall” 😂 🤣 😂 Love all your videos!
I just love your videos, I think I want a set of those bars on my RoadGlide, I also want to take your class. currently living in Southern Illinois, near Cape Girardeau, MO. Thank you for sharing your expertise and knowledge with us 🇺🇸
Jerry, you're very much correct it's 90% mental, as Meg is a sweet 100% mental, her Vlogs are fun and educating.
My GL1500 handles great, I have in normal riding scraped in corners (not in a scary or stupid way I promise) but when going slow it intimidates me. My fear factor is fairly low when on the road, I trust the scooter to do what it was designed to do. I will push that handlebar and will lean in the corners. On the slow maneuvers I have to learn to trust it and that is MUCH harder. Being winter here on the west side of Oregon we get cold rain. Temps in the low to mid 40's for highs, it is keeping me off the scooter most of the time. So I bought the book too. I already have the course on USB. This spring I plan to get with some friends that I ride with and spend some time in parking lots. I want to do this with them so that we all follow the same ideas when we are on the road together. Thanks for the constant encouragement and demos in these videos. If I lived in or near you I would pay you for lessons like these you did with her. My instructions to you at the beginning of the class would be to push me until I cry or I do it right. I am much more motivated to ride well than I am to cry because the teacher pushes me and wants me to succeed lol. Thank you Motorman!!
Nicely done! 👍
Those bars should come STANDARD on Low Riders🤘🏻😈🔥
That is one fancy seat! Very daring going for white! Bravo!
Thanks, Jerry. You are the best.
Absolutely beautiful! And the bikes too!!
Pre fight machine for proper fit and function of all systems.
No loose ends. Tires and pressure, drive train, control system and brakes, lighting and clear windscreen. Engine oil and fuel level, all fluids correct and proper.
Check list complete,,, let’s run her up!😊
She needs to get on a 1250GS, - nice video and glad that more women are showing up on motorcycles.
I follow her! I always remembered what you said Moto man look where you’re going!
This is about the time that Mrs. Motorman is scheduled for surgery, I believe. God speed a successful surgery and quick recuperation.
Jan. 31st.
Oh man I wish I could do this live with Jerry. And damn, Meg rides better than me or any of the guys I usually ride with!
I can’t wait to ride. Way to go Meg
Gr8 techniques. Ride safe, god bless u.
Very inspiring to watch. 👍👍
I just come here to watch your amazing bikes.
Just ordered the book, this second. Hoping for the color pics!
Looks much more confident on the big bike.
Great job Meg!!!
Many years ago I arrived at a motorcycle shop and outside was a nice ducati with tyre wear right up the sidewalls. A very pretty young lady came out and got on the ducati. When she took of it was impressive. Hard over with the front wheel lifting of the road. Met her again a few days later and had a chat. She does road racing ..
Wow, awesome to watch!
Good to see Meg finally got the hang of riding her low rider s round the cones. Yep just all technique 👍
Meg is a very good rider. Being fearless helps for sure. Gymnastics is something that has to teach you that. No fear. I remember when you said you were 6'2" last time. Her look in response was very funny.
What's so funny about that? What, I amuse you? ua-cam.com/video/yL9rSwrsMHw/v-deo.html
@@motorman857 You do! Your videos are full of humor. I ride better since watching your video.
@@shawncoates8219 I know. I was messin with you. My subtle dry humor goes over some peoples heads.
@@motorman857 That's one of the reasons I enjoy your videos. I'm a dry humor guy myself. We need more humor with the way this country is going at the moment.
a great video as usual Jerry.....
The thing i don't get on this is the dip before going the opposite direction? Please explain if you got a second.
Thanks for all your help
Thank you you have helped me out a lot
Just ordered my book!
She seemed to be more comfortable on the Electra Glide.
As I stated in the video, the E/Glide is easier to ride due to the riding position.
I would love to take one of your courses I wish I lived closer
That's a good looking bike she's riding. I still struggle with getting pressure on the rear brake, and honestly, keeping enough additional RPM and not too much. I think I'm better than average, but not to the level Meg's at. I know, I know... Practice!
Head & eyes up and look where you want to go. Thats one of my struggles. Im still practicing.
Great video
Excellent video
I have a feeling she’s gonna get a touring motorcycle real soon. She seems to ride that better. I’m subscribed to her channel and I would love to see Shadetree take your course someday soon.
Shadetree is too scared to take my class. He's right down the street from me and has an open invitation. It's a straight shot and being it appears he can only ride straight, you'd think he'd be here on the spot. But as I explained in the above video, some people are just too scared. 🤣🤣
@@motorman857 lol I tried to meet up with him as well- he had some stuff going on but maybe next time I visit, I'll challenge him to join me ;)
@@megsmotorcyclejourney Don't. He'll start crying.
Never been on a motorcycle before and thinking of getting into one later this year. Maybe a Fat Bob.
Cool. Very cool indeed.
She got more balls than most men…..
we have nothing to fear but fear itself.
good for her I never took a course I taught myself how to ride I started off on a 650 Yamaha then got a 1000cc harley then went on to a 2004 sporty , then a 2006 street bob then a 2012 Vulcan 1700 classic . I will say the bigger bikes are easier to handle .
nice job
🤔 MEG’S GOT THIS! 👍❤️
That young lady is amazing on those bikes. I would love to go riding with her.
She did Super Fine. 😎👍🇨🇦
Just goes to show, can't beat the touring bikes.
Good stuff👍🏻👍🏻
WTG Meg! 💕 💕 💕
She's obviously a skilled rider..
just placed my order.
Nice bike 😍😍😍
First off, let me say that I am a big fan of Mege's and I am subscribed to her channel as well. I heard about you from my motorcycle safety course instructor that I took last year. I will admit, as much as I love to ride, my biggest fear is dropping my motorcycle. I don't worry as much about dropping the Suzuki as I do the Harley though. I was wondering if you can offer any suggestions to get over this fear, and tell where I can get a copy of your book as well.
ridelikeapro.com we are out of the color books but still have the books with the black and white photos. How do you get over the fear? You learn the proper techniques one step at a time as I wrote in my book and as I explain in my Ride Like a Pro videos.
@@motorman857 Thanks for the response. I'm going to order the book and maybe one day I can participate in the actual class. I live in Texas and I drive commercial trucks over the road. I ride a 2020 Road Glide and it would be nice to bring my bike and participate in the class.
Hi Jerry do you ever come to Canada and teach. you should come to Edmonton Alberta lol I would love to join I have been riding most of my life and still learn some things from your videos
I'd thought of coming to Canada but the government red tape made it way to difficult and that was before Canada turned into a dictatorship. Now, forget about it.
@@motorman857 That's to bad lots of riders would benefit from your riding school. and Canada never turned into a dictatorship but he tried and lost.
"Outstanding."
Nice!!
Yes, for sure 1st thing I'm doing in two months is going to the abandon K Mart PRK lot and doing the intersection, snowman and the ever ALL IMPORTANTE emergency stop!! I had to do that once in traffic going 55 mph... That was the one thing that I did well in class... One question!! If looked as hot as her, would I be a better rider?? No disrespect!! Lol
No. But you'd have a better chance of getting a free lesson from the motorman and winding up on youtube. 🤣
Doodle, Meg, and everyone else, you gotta practice, its "use it or lose it" if you don't. practice, makes practice, makes practice, makes practice, makes practice, etc. Notice I didn't say perfect. Get too cocky and you'll get humbled by your bike eventually.
Live to Ride 🦅 Ride to Live
Nice looking lady ! Eye catching !
I love Harley's and have owned a few but try a BMW and you will see what precision and balance feels like.
New riders over old riders I think have a advantage as as they have no old habits to try to break just my experience
"Looks good but can she ride" yes she can right behind me👍
Trust me, true biker women will never be seen Dead or Alive being carted around on the back of their own bike like they're still only twelve. Lol
Can you explain why the Lowrider S is more difficult than the Road King. You mentioned the riding position. What about it makes it harder?
The reach and the seat position. You sit in a clamshell rather than straight up in a chair.
You forgot to tell her to do a shoulder check every time she sets off ! Even in a parking lot !
Your final two sentences are ones that EVERY rider should heed. "Don't get aggressive on the road. Get aggressive when you're practicing." Aggressive driving is hazardous to everyone, and by aggressive I mean doing things that should be done on a track, not on public roads. High speeds, wheelies, disobeying traffic laws, etc., give good riders a bad name.
Watching her makes me question my own ability to do this course. Lol
As I'm looking for my next bike, wondering if there are any production bikes in particular that would make this course very difficult or impossible.
One bike that comes to my mind that may be a terrible low speed maneuvering bike is a kawasaki vulcan 2000, as it's one I'm seriously considering.
It's not the bike that matters, it's the techniques that count.
OK, twice I THINK I heard you mention it's a "little bit harder on her bike because of the positioning." At least, that's what I thought I heard you say. Please elaborate... is it her bar width or bar height? Is it the mid-control positioning? What is it? It seems like she can ride your bike with such grace, if I am not mistaken? If so, why? Bar and peg positioning?
The entire triangle of the Low rider s makes it harder to ride than the H.D. touring bikes.
Go Meg..👍👍👍👍🇦🇺
Where do I buy the book . Are you in California Jerry ? I definitely want the book 📖
He lives in FL I think.
As I show in the video, go to ridelikeapro.com to get the book.
