Default Ride Like a Pro @ Zephyrhills Bikefest 07

Some of you know that my parents are from Ride Like a Pro and we teach people how to ride like the motorcycle cops. I teach at there classes we hold during the fall/spring here in Florida. This video was taken last sunday at the Zephyrhills bikenight of my parents jerry/donna and there 2 friends marianne and tim doing some manuvers on 800+ pound police HD bikes. This is probably boring to most of you since we ride on sportbikes and you can pretty much muscle them around at lowerspeeds but if you've ever ridden a full dresser harley... dumb luck will only get you so far before you're on your ass in the middle of a parking lot, or you can always be a super sweet 'Foot Dragger' which has absolutely no control over what they are doing while riding around at lower speeds. Hope some of you enjoy this, it truely is tough to ride these damn beasts through the police course at 18 feet. It is doable though using the correct techniques. oh, and Rep me!

yeah, at our classes we take people that show up on a bike.. and when they first try to go thru some of the exercises you wonder how the fuck they even got to the class.. some people are so bad at riding that come to our classes they will actually trailer there 20grand+ bike to our class then unload it. but all in all within the 4 hours of our private class we can get everyone going through our course proficiently and atleast a 100% skill increase. we also go over braking techniques since alot of people dont modulate brakes properly.. overall, its the teaching aspect that i really love to do when it comes to the classes
