I'm always amazed at the number of people who have been riding bikes for 20+ years and still have no idea how to actually maneuver their bikes properly. Listen folks, anyone can ride a bike in a straight line at speed, the bike (and science) does all the work for you. Maneuvering your bike at slower speeds, weaving around things, doing u-turns etc isn't easy and takes practice. If you can't take any of Jerry's courses in person, watch the videos, get some cones (or beer cans, whatever) and set them up and practice practice practice.
Meg came to the course with no predetermined mindset, which allowed her to absorb what was being taught. Most experienced riders come "knowing" they know how to ride. Ego is a guys worst enemy. I've been riding 36 years and found some things are hard to reprogram in my riding style lol.
Thank you so much for the opportunity! If you guys haven’t trained with with Jerry, you are missing out! He, Donna, and Joe were an amazing team that had me performing maneuvers that I didn’t know I was capable of. 😊
As a qualified DVSA Instructor with my own bike schools over here in the UK I would just like to say how refreshing it is to see an instructor that actually talks sense and knows just what he’s doing, the video of Meg proves that. Love watching your vids buddy and proving folk wrong. Big Respect to you. Keep safe during these awful times. Steve.
Awesome inspiration for small women who want to ride but who may feel intimidated. This goes to show that with the right skills and practice, a motorcycle can be as fun and safe as a bike was when you were a kid MM you and Donna really have saved more lives than you realize. As for Megan the mom/lawyer\biker... Keep on inspiring other women to get their wind therapy on! I hope you do a cross country ride video one day
@@docdonna489 You guys are really awesome. You guys hold the class About 200 yards From my work I see you guys out there most Sundays I think you all are awesome, And I love the fact that more and more women Are getting the confidence To know they can do something safely And hold their own With the big boys
@@DamnitDave You should stop over and say hi Dave...right now, we're behind Sears at GulfView Square Mall due to Gulf High School being closed inside and outside to "vendors" till further notice with the Covid in the County.

@@docdonna489 I am a covid-19. Nurse So whenever the hell they give me a decent break I need to come to class. The videos are awesome, But still Never As Good As live instruction
Jerry, your videos are great. My son just got his first bike and I am back to riding after being off one for 11 years. We use your videos to improve our skills each week. Your no crap approach is what is needed IOT become a better rider. Keep rocking and stay safe. David G.
Awesomeness! Merry Christmas to you and Miss Donna. Jerry i so enjoy your videos! I bought the series earlier this year. Super enjoy watching them and your new stuff. Hasd an incident just like in MEAN STREETS, a car pulled out in front of me from the left side of the street after they had received their food order from a curb side pick up. There were two other lanes to my right full of dinner time traffic in this college town. Without hesitation I looked swerved and dipped around the negligent driver, safely back into my respective lane! I thanked God for my success and then you! Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year...
I"m glad she got down to see you. I recommended you but of course so did so many others. She's very talented and it's hard not to be envious of that talent and being open minded about learning. I believe that is what gets you over the fear factor. I started watching her, yes she is very pretty but she's determined to make it no matter what. Thanks for taking the time to help her out. I wish there were more of you to share this teaching. It's been over a couple of years and I know I have lost some of that technique just because of not keeping my eyes and head turned. I believe you have to go over and over daily as you have said many times. Again, thanks for the videos and thanks for sharing.
Hi there both of you. I have been following Meg`s Motorcycle journey and your channel too Jerry, from over here is rainy, cold South West England and it is good to see you training Meg. I look forward to seeing lots more from both of you. Better than watching TV any day.
*Merry Christmas* Jerry & Donna !!! And Megan has a lot of raw talent .... I'm really impressed how easily she moved that 900 lb Harley around, through the course, ... (like she was the owner of it ...) Some folks are just EXCELLENT learners !!!!
Glad I recommended you to Meg. I'm sure she would have come to you without my advice. I've been riding on and off since the mid 70's and I've learned a few things from your videos. You provide a great service Jerry.
That’s awesome! I follow her and was thinking she should check out your videos. In one of her post she said she could never handle a bagger. She has great instincts and no fear. She did one better and took your class. That’s great!!
Love it! By the way, got your videos from website and I did a lot of leaning tonight...even swerving around our lake, felt good! I told hubby I’m ready for a bigger bike already! 1200 Sportster L is what I’m on now.
I’ve been out on my newly acquired goldwing 1800: following your instructions, so far so good,hardest part is staying relaxed, so easy to tense up, then I go off line,, great vid, 🇬🇧
Man She did great ! I been following her and was excited to see how she did , Wow ! what a great rider! I think that we actually teach ourselves fear of dropping , I know I have ! Good Job ! Thanks for sharing!
That was great to watch and I follow her youtube channel nice soft clean riding beautiful sites real nice bike and she has some good friends to hang out with to help her and her helping them
@@motorman857 That's right, good friend I worked with, A retired NY State Trooper was Joe Palladino, I get confused easily now a days! 6'2, 39yr old, hell when I was on the job I was too, but not anymore! LOL
good job megan awesome you are being taught by the best like watching Megan's channel and of course moto man channel awesome teacher Merry Christmas to you and your wife stay safe
Jerry, just did my MSF and stumbled on your channel. Love all of your content. Simple, useful and funny. Been binging many of your videos and I love your delivery: simple! I loved my instructors at my MSF but sometimes, and I know they're regulated by the state so I guess they're taught to do it that way, they almost over-explain the material to the point where you get analysis-paralysis.
A good instructor with patience is so important.Some instructors have no patience,and seem to expect you to master riding a bike as soon as you get on it.Everyone is different.Some get it straight away,especially clutch control,which seems to be the major issue with beginners and some need plenty of lessons to do things like slalom and figure of eight training.Even the U turn and stopping can still give experienced riders problems.I’ve seen it with my own eyes.A good instructor with patience will make learning fun and not an ordeal👍🏍
Yes. Been riding on and off since 85. This GL 1500 has me afraid. I know to look ahead and throttle is your friend, but all that goes out the window when I get on the Wing. Need to get the hell past it!
i love that you are against lowering the bike, thank you! i work for a prominent suspension company & we get a lot of calls for lowered suspension. these bikes do not have a lot of wheel travel to start with. you dont want to take any more travel away from that!
You're a great teacher! I also follow Meg, I'm glad you told her about the handlebars. I've told her that she needs to change her riding stance as she was riding leaning way forward for comfort.
That was awesome. Let her know if she's going to be riding by herself to get her carry permit and learn how to use that tool. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Nice work.
Megan did great and yes she has talent but that was absolute testimony to your abilities as an instructor, Jerry; kudos to both of you. Were those stock pipes on the Sporty? They sounded great.
No. They are Vance&Hines long shots. They were way too loud so I put quiet baffles in them and they are still too loud. I'll be putting stock mufflers on as soon as I find some.
Man, I love your videos. I’ve been watching Meg’s as well. Absolutely love love love the increase in women riders. Meg is rocking it for sure. I really have to to Florida to take your class. Thanks Jerry.
Jerry, thank you for the instructional videos! I'm a new rider at 54 years old & been learning a lot from them & just recently ordered your 'ride like a pro' book & hope to attend one of your classes in the coming new year. Ride safe & Merry Christmas! 🎄🏍
I'm super impressed!!! Your videos have been a great help. But just because she's from my area I have to now come down to take the course to make sure I'm not a making any mistakes. Great job teaching and even a better for her learning so fast. Just a little FYI I'm a Indian guy. I had the Roadmaster but now I have the challenger. Happy holidays
These techniques are the same in all motorcycle classes, especially ones taught by current and former motor officers. Head-Eyes, Friction-Zone mastery, Engine RPM's and Body Positioning. You cannot master low-speed or even high speed riding without these. But some teachers are much better than others so maybe going to FL to learn from him would be worth it.
She just made a whole lot of men very jealous. And now a healthy dose of surviving the Mean Streets. Also covering your brakes and object fixations and don't right above your capabilities and the bikes capabilities.
You're a great teacher and she has no fear making it look easy 😉. I really need to work on my skills. This looks like so much fun. She did great. Much better than I would. LOL
I subscribe to Megan's UA-cam channel and she has some good content. it was a pleasure to watch her riding thru these excersizes just breezing thru them ,of course you get some credit too
Really wish I lived a couple thousand miles closer. My wife has zero experience on a motorcycle. She took a BEGINNER course last summer, felt embarrassed because she couldn't get the hang of it and left. I don't think that would have happened in Jerry's class, especially when he purposefully goes out of his way to show what people CAN do with patience and good instruction. Great channel Jerry.
Hi Jerry, thanks so much for your videos. Quick question - when you say friction point, throttle and brakes on the u turn drills, do you mean keep the clutch at friction point and increase throttle and brakes as needed? Thanks again.
It's 95% clutch and throttle/friction, zone and a bit of pressure on the rear brake. You are fluctuating the clutch within the friction zone. As you get better with the friction zone you can eliminate the rear brake pressure.
I've had similar experiences with teaching ladies how to shoot. They typically get the hang of it in about 10 rounds. Most guys its a box of ammo before they are doing everything correctly. lol
Watched this again and i disagree with a statement that Jerry made when he said it doesn't matter how long you been riding, I feel like it does because we or I need to un learn alot of bad habits and relearn good ones , sometimes that can be a tall herdle to clear . Thanks for what you do Jerry . Meg did so good , really enjoyed this video.
Brilliant I just wish I’d been able to get instructions like that when I was learning to ride 45 years ago instead of all the bad habits I picked up. If I ever get back to the USA ...........
Impressive. I have ridden various cruisers and sport bikes over the years. I recently got a Heritage and was surprised how nimble the bigger bikes can be when actually using the techniques you teach.
I found Megan's channel a few weeks ago. Jerry I emailed you about a beginner bike and l like your two recommendations, I am till looking for a Triumph Bonneville or a Kawasaki Vulcan S both with ABS. Illinois is still closed at the DMV so I cannot get my motorcycle endorsement on my DL.
My g/f stands 4'-10 with a 25" inseam.. she rides a ZZR250 with the seat cut down about an inch and a half. She now has 190 hours in the saddle and 6600km... I'd rather ride with her than with many more experienced riders... not just because she is my g/f, but because her skills are far higher than many riders with more time in the saddle. Cheers from Canada!
Hi Jerry, At 4'11" it's hard to find a bike that fits my small height. Short legs is my problem. So for me I ride the Honda Rebel 500. I've been to the Harley dealership and sat on their bikes, my legs were dangling. You shortening the bike is not a good idea. Would love to take your class one day, but would have to bring my Honda. I live in North Carolina. Any tips about my problem of short legs. Heidi

Impressive. I have ridden various cruisers and sport bikes over the years. I recently got a Heritage and was surprised how nimble the bigger bikes can be when actually using the techniques you teach.
Gracias por enseñarnos a todos como conducir una motocicleta de la mejor manera .. saludos y ambos son los mejores maestros . Chao
I love the sound of the exhaust on that Sportster!!!
Merry Christmas to you and your family .
That is so impressive. I have to get the cones out and do some parking lot practice.
I found Megan's channel a few weeks ago. Jerry I emailed you about a beginner bike and l like your two recommendations, I am till looking for a Triumph Bonneville or a Kawasaki Vulcan S both with ABS. Illinois is still closed at the DMV so I cannot get my motorcycle endorsement on my DL.
My g/f stands 4'-10 with a 25" inseam.. she rides a ZZR250 with the seat cut down about an inch and a half. She now has 190 hours in the saddle and 6600km... I'd rather ride with her than with many more experienced riders... not just because she is my g/f, but because her skills are far higher than many riders with more time in the saddle. Cheers from Canada!
Hi Jerry,
At 4'11" it's hard to find a bike that fits my small height. Short legs is my problem. So for me I ride the Honda Rebel 500. I've been to the Harley dealership and sat on their bikes, my legs were dangling. You shortening the bike is not a good idea.
Would love to take your class one day, but would have to bring my Honda.
I live in North Carolina.
Any tips about my problem of short legs.

Lovely! Subbing to her channel. Small world, I'm from MD and am looking to take your class, too
Way to represent MD Meg !!!
I hope to get my son and i down there to learn from THE MAN himself one day too. !

Oh wow!!!!! It's Meg!
She really made that look easy, great job Meg, that was some excellent riding!
Fantastic show Jerry, and you and your family have a merry Christmas.......
Good job Meg, you seem to be a quick study! Learning how to ride with techniques like this is so important for motorcyclists.
