Good - bad. Can you learn any riding tips buy watching a DVD. I've seen some their stuff on Utube but would like to hear some feefdback from other riders. Thanks Post #: 1 RE: Ride Like A Pro Video - 4/13/2008 4:58:20 AM    capt_caveman Posts: 144 Joined: 1/4/2008 Status: offline Worth every penny IMHO but watching is only step 1.  You'll need to go out an practice to get the real benefit.  I'm still working on my skill level but I felt much more in control after just 1 practice session. _____________________________ 05 Classic Lava Red (in reply to wharfrat) Post #: 2 RE: Ride Like A Pro Video - 4/13/2008 5:48:13 AM    lonewatie Posts: 1142 Joined: 12/10/2007 Status: offline i like mine, haven't practiced too many maneuvers yet, but learned more about control in turns with rear brake only, and feathering the clutch. don't remember the msf teaching that. good stuff _____________________________ We thought about it for a long time, "Endeavor to persevere."

NOTE: when you practice cover the crash bars with clear tubing and zip ties or water heater insulation and zip ties, chances are YOU will tip the bike one time..
