#414695 signal20k9 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 245 Ride Like A Pro course 9 Months ago   Has anyone ever taken one of the Ride Like A Pro courses? If so, what did you think of it? I'm interested in taking a class a learn to ride like the Police Motor Unit guys who do the MC Rodeos. I love watching those guys! They have the courses all over and according to their website they are taught by current or former Motor Unit Officers, but the class is only 4hrs so I'm curious as to how much you can learn in a 4hr class. Thanks in advance if anyone has any info.   Logged     I can handle going fast.

BUT what they don't tell you is that while taking the motor officers course that they drop thier bikes up to 10-12 times a day before they get good at it! I would suggest borrowing someone else's scooter while taking the course! Maybe Darn will loan you his!!! or Jona!!!   Logged     \\\\\\\" No matter where you go....there you are.\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #414749 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!

You can learn a LOT in 4 hours and find out a lot of things you are doing wrong and I have been riding 50 years. The main thing is after you take it practice what they taught you over and over until it becomes habit.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #414755 javawave (User) Over 17235 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 5710 Re:Ride Like A Pro course 8 Months, 4 Weeks ago   I have done the video also. I would think they can teach you a lot in 4 hours. After that it will be up to you to practice what you learn. Mark I believe has taken the course. You might send him a note. Be prepared to drop your bike...lol.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #414757 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am..

Gold Boarder Posts: 745 Re:Ride Like A Pro course 8 Months, 4 Weeks ago   I bought the video, and like Curt, I learned some things that I was doing wrong; that was to me, the most informative and helpful thing. I did learn a lot from the course video, and like others have mentioned - practice, practice and practice some more. Yes, I have dropped the Roadie and my Goldwing, but no big deal - doesn't hurt them at all. Crash bar on Roadie and the Goldwing is very drop forgiving with built in crash bars.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #414762 Boatmark (User) Roadie fan, just blowin' down the road... Platinum Boarder Posts: 2731 Re:Ride Like A Pro course 8 Months, 4 Weeks ago   I have the video as well. One of the most helpful things I learned was using the "friction zone" at low speeds. It is amazing what you can do feathering the clutch and rear brake!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #414805 pablos (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 49 Re:Ride Like A Pro course 8 Months, 4 Weeks ago   Have the video too. One thing I did that made a big difference is to not place the cones so close together at first. Start with what feels comfortable and gradually more them closer together. I had no problem with dropping the bike doing it this way. I learned a lot and fixeds some bad habits.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #414828 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!

Platinum Boarder Posts: 4342 Re:Ride Like A Pro course 8 Months, 4 Weeks ago   A local guy got the vid and set up a course by his home. He said he learned a bunch, but smoked his clutch in 2 days of practice.   Logged     Grow Old or Die Trying...   The administrator has disabled public write access.
