Well worth the price of admission in my book.Noticed a couple of old bad habits I had and changed things for the better.

Excellent Video, suggest watching it to anyone who rides a bike or plans on it. Also if you can take the public training course of Ride Like a Pro, if they offer it in your area. (one of my HOG group members a LEO offers a scaled down version of it) it does help

I've taken the motorcycle safety course, attended the "Ride like a Pro" demonstration and bought the DVD. You'll benefit from it without a doubt ... just my opinion but riding a motorcycle is a perishable skill that demands a constant self analysis. If you ever think you know it all and don't need further training, you have trouble coming.

Is it worth it? Last year, after 41 years on the front seat, I bought the dvd.............not only did my wife learn a lot from it, so did I! Very strongly recommended.

I saw their demonstration live at the Ohio HOG rally and was very impressed. I bought both videos and have learned a lot. They are well worth the price. They sell them at a discount at their shows.

I bought the video for me and the wife got to watching it with me, she went and took the MSF riders class, and now she rides her own, two thumbs and two big toes up. Buy it now, what are you waiting for, supplies are limited, so act now.
