Ride LIke a Pro NC

[CRUI$ER]

I just took the Ride Like a Pro NC course for the second time today. J.D. really puts on a great class. I can see my riding improve with each time I go out. There were 2 guys from New Jersey, a guy from Raleigh, a gal from Maryland and a gal from Georgia in the class.

I took the MSF Basic Course in June and then Ride Like a Pro NC a couple weeks ago and again today. I have been riding since September of 2004 and these are the first formal classes I have taken.

I highly recommend the Ride Like a Pro NC course. You can check them out at www.ridelikeapronc.com also the main Ride Like a Pro site is www.ridelikeapro.com and you can buy the DVD's there.

I'll second that thought. I was in the first class JD taught in NC. He's an excellent instructor and the class is well worth the investment in money and time.

If you've ever considered taking an advanced course RLAP is one of the best.

Taking it for the 5th time tomorrow - 2nd time on my 2009 Ultra - last time I actually had to pick it up in the figure 8 - the techniques to pick up a downed bike work great!

Good for you!

My riding group has a website on youtube. Our instructor is certified to train professional motor officers. If you're ever interested in getting to the next level, feel free to look us up.

As you get better, you will find yourself dropping your bike more often. Believe me, this is quite common. Once day in Police Motor school, a group of us were going down damn near simultaneously. boom, boom, boom.

My philosophy has always been that if you are practicing in a controlled environment, and don't put your feet down, then a dropped motor means nothing. It's really no different than being a professional baseball player. Sooner or later, you're going to get hit by a pitch. It is simply a part of the game.

Thus, It is far better for you to ride the motorcycle into the ground, bulldoze cones, experience a front wheel washout, a 360 degree spin out, scrape your knees, and/or fall flat on your back, etc..etc..than it is to EVER put a foot down to try and prevent the motor from falling over. Remember, your primary goal when riding, no matter the situation, should be both feet on the boards when moving. One foot down when stopped.

Always,

Good luck!
