Robert, I have been riding for 26 years. I took the Motorcycle Safety Foundation course at the Hollywood Greyhound Track in Hollywood, Florida when I bought my first bike in 1999, and learned quite a bit about riding and turning at low speed that I have used throughout the years. Your videos are great and reinforce everything I learned in that course over a quarter of a century ago. Thank you for putting out these videos to help make people better riders so they can enjoy this great sport even more.
going to be having my first motorcycle lesson soon (at the tender age of 52). Gonna be hearing your voice while in the class. Already consider myself a preloader (level 0). 😂
Thank you for taking the time today and chatting with me and my friends about slow riding. Appreciate everything you do on UA-cam and hope to join you in a training session someday.
Big Hello from Brazil. I really enjoy your videos, and I try to practice your techniques in my very modest Meteor 350. It is night and day from what we are taught in motorcycle training here. I got my motorcycle license and I was sure I could not ride, and then I got to UA-cam and found some great videos like yours. I still have to find a free space to practice more, but I already feel much more confident using the motorcycle at low speeds. Thank you for the great videos!
Appreciate the love, brother! Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed to my UA-cam channel!👍🏾😊 ua-cam.com/users/BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle
Thank you for sharing. I have learned so much from you and others... I ride an Indian Roadmaster, but the biggest bike I rode before the Indian was a Honda Magna 750. Learning about the friction point on the clutch, keeping the throttle steady but not too much and keeping my foot light on the rear brake has made all the difference when riding a bike such as the Roadmaster. When I stop, I rarely if ever put my right foot on the ground, because the rear brake, clutch and throttle are such an important element in safe stopping and starting. Thanks so much. I notice that the majority of the riders in the club I ride with put both feet on the ground when stopping... but I notice the professional experienced riders almost never put the right foot down unless there is an uneven surface or they have a passenger on board. It feels so good to be more professional in my riding... and it is all about technique, technique, technique!

Thanks Robert, that was very clear and concise. I particularly appreciate the 0-5 positions on the clutch - I guess you have something similar going on with the rear brake (0-5) and the idea is to keep the throttle consistent while you adjust the 0-5 of the clutch and the 0-5 of the rear brake as needed.

People whining about rear brake pads lol. A medium priced set will cost you around 30 bucks and it'll take you 2 to 3 years to chew them up if you put around 5000 miles a year on your bike.
This guy has "circled" the Earth 27 times. And I must have watched at least 20 of them. Robert Simmons has probably gone further going nowhere than any man alive. 😄 ✌️ ❤️
I love your videos. It's been about 15 years since I rode a motorcycle because I had a herniated disc, but I've finally gotten a kawasaki vulcan 1500. I watched your videos and learned how to handle it low speed to a basic extent and I'm not afraid of it falling over. I've even ridden through an unexpected patch of mud on a gravel road and remembered to give it gas when it got squirrely and was able to straighten it back up no problem. But, my question is, what would you say to a returning rider that has ridden the roads for several hours but is anxious about riding the interstate? How do you get over THAT fear?

great advice and explanation.. what bars do you have? if i missed a video about them, i apologized, but they look really nice and i'd like to get the details..
Robert, I have a 2015 Road Glide. I decided to change my front tire to a 21-inch, but now tight turns feel more difficult; it's like the radius for tight turns is larger. I wonder if you can recommend something based on my tire size.

I have no idea how you can do that with ape hangers I for one cannot. Stock bars I can, T-BARS I can, ape hangers the bars are just to wide and I can't manipulate the clutch well enough on the right hand turns and I have a pretty decent reach.

Does RDRS have any effect on the slow maneuvers?

People are worried about "riding" the clutch and their automatic transmission in their car or truck is basically doing the same most of the time.
You know you never put a helmet on the ground younging..
Says who? I actually never do that, but there was no place else to put it, so I decided to use it as a prop.
A helmet on the ground behind a bike on the side of the road is a biker signal for I'm broke down. In this instance it's a very expensive "cone." 😄
