Default Ordered: Ride like a pro

I have not rode a bike in twenty years consistently. I did take the MSF course a few years ago but thought&nbsp\\; I'd invest in better techniques and professional riding knowledge. I'm sure some of you may have used these videos. I am starting out with\\;Learn to Ride The Easy Way and Surviving The Mean Streets.&nbsp\\;[sm=signs007.gif]

You're going to have to just ride more often and it'll come back to you... Ride, ride, ride.

Money well spent. You can watch the exercises and then go out and practice them.

I just received my copy of "Ride Like a Pro V"....have really enjoyed it....also practicing what they mention.&nbsp\\; I think for the first time Im REALLY concious to the fact of 'paying attention' to every little thing....gives you a different way to think about it I guess.

You'll find a lot of thankful posts on this board extolling the DVD's value and usefullness. Use it and practice&nbsp\\;your skills and you'll put in place the best insurance against injury and disaster that you can possibly have. Good luck in riding a bike is predominantly something that is on purpose and not accidental. Good riding.
