pegscraper Posted February 15, 2008 #2 Posted February 15, 2008 Okay, what does V have on it that IV doesn't?
Blackjack Posted February 15, 2008 #4 Posted February 15, 2008 Those that attended the North GA M&E last weekend got to see a live presentation and performance by the Motorman and the Ride Like A Pro Team at the Great American Motorcycle Show held in Norcross GA. Practice may not make you perfect, but it will make you better! Terry
Doug Hare Posted February 16, 2008 #5 Posted February 16, 2008 I have been thinking of buying a video from Ride Like a Pro. Which one do you recommend the most and why.
papa smurf Posted February 16, 2008 #6 Posted February 16, 2008 i got IV myself. I can't imagine that the actual techniques have changed much, unless they discuss anti lock brakes or linked front/rear brake systems or something like that. I've done a little practicing, not as much as I need to, but a little. I got some bright colored tennis balls, cut em in half, and kept em in my side bags for a while. I can tell ya for sure, the little amount of practice I've done has made a really big difference for me.... good stuff. That DVD along with David Hough's book "more proficient motorcycling" have my highest thumbs up.
McBrush Posted February 17, 2008 #7 Posted February 17, 2008 I have been thinking of buying a video from Ride Like a Pro. Which one do you recommend the most and why. Here's a quote from the web site: "Ride Like a Pro V is a replacement for my first four videos. It includes all the information from Ride Like a Pro I, II, III, IV plus much more. In other words, there is no need to have viewed the first four DVDs to understand the techniques I'll show you in Ride Like a Pro V." http://www.ridelikeapro.com/ They have other offerings too. It's just a matter of what you are looking for.

As a new rider and this being my first bike I had trouble handling the bike at low speeds. I practiced last year and improved a great deal but feel I still have much room to improve. I watched Jerry P's video but was not sure if I would need to buy the whole set or could just start with #V. Again thanks. I have read many comments on this web site and have to agree that the information and help available here is just tremendous!
86er Posted February 18, 2008 #9 Posted February 18, 2008 At the demo ride at the Atlanta show Jerry made an interesting comment. He said that he had twenty years riding experience when he finally took the police riding course. He said that is when he realized he had one year's riding experience repeated twenty times!
BigD Posted February 18, 2008 #10 Posted February 18, 2008 Does anyone have the Ride Like a Pro video "The ride to Sturgis"? And would you want to sell it?
Mudpup13 Posted February 19, 2008 #11 Posted February 19, 2008 V has all the info from the previous editions plus some extra, including "yours truly" trying to ride the ride. I shouldn't have been out there, just getting over a case of pneumonia. If I'm in there, I'm the only one on a Venture. There was one very large Gold Wing with a cooler mounted on the trailer hitch. Every body else was on HDs. Jerry's a cool dude, and he or Donna should be able to answer any questions you have about the CD's. Give him a call at 1-866-868-7433 or check the web-site at "www.ridelikeapro.com". No financial interest, etc. etc. Mudpup
Doug Hare Posted February 19, 2008 #12 Posted February 19, 2008 Just ordered Ride Like a Pro V. Looking forward to receiving it, viewing and practicing when weather permits. Would never have known about it except for this website. Donna even gave me a discount when she asked how I heard about them and I told them it was Venturerider.org. Thanks again to the people of this website!!!!!
pegscraper Posted February 21, 2008 #13 Posted February 21, 2008 You could say that you were from just about any motorcycle forum out there and they would give you a discount. I'm real curious what's new between IV and V. Do they have different obstacle courses, or are they the same courses with different footage of them training different people? For those who have cut tennis balls in half to use for cones, has anyone ever taken one apart only to notice that you had cut it perfectly along the seam? Wouldn't that have to be about like breaking a mirror, or stepping on a crack, or walking under a ladder or something?
