  • With the one on one lesson with me today, Linda has improved by about 200%. Her fear level dropped from a 10.5 to about a level 7. Now she has to practice on her own then come back in a couple of weeks. My NEW Ride Like a Pro video is the one to get that teaches you the three techniques that with practice will have you riding with skill and confidence. www.ridelikeapro.com

  • @InspectorGadget2014
    @InspectorGadget2014 4 роки тому +2

    Nice!
    I personally believe fear is the absence of mastering a technique.
    Fear and motorcycles do not mix and are bound to cause a conflict, or worse, at some point in time.
    Fearless is not the goal but cautious and mindful how that wonderful machine can do exactly what you want and where you want it.
    Clearly Linda is getting it now and soon I'm sure she will turn twisters in the tarmac, beautiful how somebody can learn, grow and overcome.
    For a good part of course an excellent instructor who sees all the language of the motorcycle & its rider plus plenty of patience & determination from all involved.
    Kudos for Linda for facing her fears and having the commitment to address, it takes a great person to admit to that, and share it with us.
    And makes one not only a safer rider but also way more enjoyable.
    This is clearly a testament & great example that with an excellent instructor one can become a far better rider, mastering the skills required.

    I'm no expert, but i think sometimes you just have to fall over with your bike to see it ain't really that scary, to overcome your fear factor. Good to see her making progress, she can actually enjoy riding properly.

Tell her the internet is proud of her improvement.

    I feel deepest respect for you as a trainer, who really wants their students to succeed. Just a little experience I wanted to share with you, much of how I got better at balance: just ask her to get down and push the bike through some tracks you could lay down for the excercise. She will end up dropping the bike, but probably it will rid her of the fear. Bicycle is not the same as a motorcycle.

I wonder if they go to the heart transplant video's and tell the doctor what he should be doing.

  • @StephenTillman

    The bicycle is an awesome idea for a training technique! Takes away all the fear of hurting your precious bike and reminds them that they've already done this and the only differences are that it's heavier and has a throttle instead of pedals. I love watching these videos for two reasons: I love watching riders gain their confidence and I'm never going to be experienced enough to turn down more training.

    My bike, a ctx700, was the worst bike I have ever had for enticing fear in me when turning. After a few weeks I realized it was the seating position! The foot controls on that bike a very far forward for a short person. I had a machinist make a sub frame and pull back and lift up the foot controls to put me in a neutral position. I was back to making those turns in just a few minutes.
    Some times people may consider a different seating position ( different bike or a modification ) to help with their fear.
