  Barry is able to ride these exercises because he learned the three motor officer techniques taught in the Ride Lke A Pro NJ class. He listened to the instruction, applied what was taught to him and trusted his new abilities. Anyone who attends the class and applies themself like Barry can ride like this also.

  You're right Al, 9 months ago, I never imagined that I would be able to ride like this with a short class like this. I have improved my riding more in 5 hours than in the last 50 years !

  Marcus,
  
  We've filmed quite a few RLAP videos and I must say I was very impressed with how well Barry did on his Victory. It is a BIG bike....about 800lbs. but it is as nimble as a 600lb cruiser.

  It is a lot easier than it looks, the key is to practice as much as you can as often as you can. Eventually you will overcome the mental barriers by learning to trust yourself and your bike. I was able to perform these moves on a VTX 1800 and I just upgraded to a Goldwing. I can perform the same turns on my new bike that weighs 900 pounds and I can do it with a passenger. It improves your ability to ride more effectively by learning what your bike can do at slow speeds which transfers to what your bike can do at high speeds (the motorcycles lean limits). I strongly recommend that all riders take this course at some point in their riding career.

  The key to doing these maneuvers is the delicate balance between rear brake pressure and managing the friction zone with the throttle and clutch. Once you get the "feel" for this on your bike, you can do these drills.
  
  To be honest, the class teaches the technique and you go through a series of exercises that allow you to practice each of them. Each exercise gets a little "harder"....but in the end, (if you don't quit or make excuses) you will have another "trick" in your motorcycle skill bag that will help you become a better rider.
