Ride like a pro DVD.. Worth it?
Ride Like a Pro
I have version IV and it's one of the best things I've ever bought for my bike.
Seeing those girls throw those big bikes around like they were mopeds helped give my wife the confidence to believe she could ride one.
The instruction is confined to slow speed operation of the bike. There is no instruction on emergency stopping or swerving in version IV and probably not in V. ERC probably best place to learn that.
New riders should get fairly comfortable with their bikes before using the video imo. Don't ask me how I know.

I bought the video version V and it changed my riding at slow speeds. No longer do I worry about duck walking or makiing slow speed turns. I paln on taking the course this year. When i bought my video Jerry knocked off $5 if you mentioned HDF. WEll worth the money.

The Ride Like a Pro version V cd has helped me gain the confidence I needed to feel comfortable on my Ultra after having been off motorcycles for many years. It has helped me make up for a lot of lost time by showing me how to do it correctly the first time. I have been reviewing it while my scoot is stored for the winter hoping to imprint as much as possible in my mind for when I can get on the road again.

I have the RLAP 4 and will be ordering the RLAP 5 soon. My wife and I go practice every chance we get. Also, the tip about using cut in half tennis ball in place of cones has worked out great. I can carry 12 half ***** in the tube container and they don't take up much space in the tour pak.
