Ride Like a Pro IV

RE: Ride Like a Pro IV
Favorite bike? That's a tough one. For short ride's I'd have to say the Rune. Not that it's not capable of longer runs, it is, however, there's no way to carry anything. The smoothness, power and high speed handling and fun to ride factor of the Rune is fabulous. The FLH Harleys can't be beat for nimble low speed handling and are fine for just about any type of ride. But if I had to have or pick just one bike that does everything well, it would have to be the Gold Wing GL 1800.
As far as modifications, some chrome bits here and there and a DFO are a must on all my H.d.'s. My wife's bike gets all the chrome custom seats and paint.

I'll be short here...
Got the video, it's awesome, well produced and fun to watch. A great deal of training/info videos are not. And yeah the lady on the SC e-glide is very good looking.
My wife wants to be in the next video...
Thanks Jerry. Hope to see you at an event or something.

I learned alot just at the MSF BRC thinking this will be mind blowing looking forward to dragging some boards!!!!

Alrite Jerry, just a little pat on the back here. I give credit where credit is due. 5 months ago a friend of mine dumped in his Heritage @ 35 mph in a ( hit a small pothole & follwing to close ) relatively easy curve. $6000 damage to the bike, he was fine but his wife had 3 broken ribs and has just had her last shoulder surgery to repair damage. Long story short, I talked him into riding down to visit and go on a big escorted ride here in Jacksonville last weekend. His wife came too but she drove. Well after riding with him in the ride I found out he was still terrified of curves and stopping. Well first safe chance I got I ducked out of the ride and took him with me ( I am a HOG member and we were riding with my group and there were a total of about 800 bikes riding, HEY safety first right ?! ) and asked him what was going on. He told me about still being scared. So we broke camp and went back to my house. I showed him your DVD and then showed him on my FLHTC how it was done in person. He couldn't believe how far I was leaning and turning so sharp. I was also able with the help of the wife to talk his wife into getting on my bike for her first ride after the wreck because she was so scared to get back into the saddle. I even got on his Heritage and rode it the same way as mine. He's a believer now ( Welcome to the Darkside ) and he should be ordering your DVD very soon. So, Thanks Jerry for helping me keep my friend on 2 wheels and making him a more knowledgeable rider. I also have him enrolled in a Riders Edge course next month to get some quick training. Better to help out a friend than carry one in a casket.

Great story. Imagine if everyone did the same for their riding friends. Everybody who rides should know these techniques. It makes riding so much more fun and so much safer when you know how to really ride your motorcycle instead of the other way around. HELP STAMP OUT THE FOOT DRAGGERS.

I know this is an older post, but I feel it is one that needs to stay alive............Just ordered my DVD yesterday.
Jerry e-mailed me last night and I'll have it in a few days.
Jerry even gave me the shipping discount by mentioning this forum.
I'm looking to gain more experience with slow manuevering on my bike.
Thanks again Jerry.
