RE: Ride like a Pro
The first time I tried the owl head maneuver, I surprised myself at how sharp I could turn. No fear making tight u-turns anymore. It's interesting to watch riders at any gathering. You can tell immediately who knows the proper slow riding technique.

Originally I wasn't going to order this DVD but reading this thread changed my mind. I know that I need the training. I have no doubt that my skills are no where near good enough. I just was not sure that the DVD would deliver. I'm anxious to view it and get some decent weather to start practicing.

RE: Ride like a Pro
Just watching it boosted my confidence. I'd only been on a HD for about 6 months when I got it, and the 'see through the turns' and eyes and head thing made all the difference in making full turns.
I will make my dad watch it before he rides my sporty. He's already calling it his bike
I don't freak out when I drag on my boards now
I kinda like getting down on em. I am just concerned that if I get a rider that doesn't know what I'm doing that she will try to correct for the drag and throw the bike off balance.
Good video.
I also liked the 'Fix My Hog' video. I learned about both of them on this site. It's alot easier when you can see it done, and not try to visualize what the manual is telling you to do.

I had the dvd on my christmas wish list and received it. Watched it the other week and was very impressed. Looking forward to the weather warming up and practicing.
