Motorman showing his tricks

This month's featured member is Jerry "Motorman" Palladino. Enjoy his story and learn about his new video "Ride like a Pro":
A "Motorman" is the term used in police circles to identify a motorcycle cop, or any law enforcement officer assigned to the motorcycle division. Prior to becoming a Motor Officer, I rode for enjoyment for about 25 years. I considered myself an average to maybe a little above average rider. I had received no formal training up to that point.
Then, one day, I saw a 5 minute segment on a television show which depicted motorcycle officers training on their Harley police bikes. What I saw absolutely amazed me. The way these officers could maneuver these full size motorcycles around like a child's toy, made it appear as if they were defying gravity. At that moment, I knew that I had a lot to learn about riding a motorcycle.
Shortly afterwards, the agency I work for started a motorcycle unit. I was sent for training to Tallahassee with the highway patrol. The training consisted of 120 hours of intensive motorcycle training, focusing mainly on low speed handling. When I finished this training, for the first time I really knew how to ride a motorcycle.
I believe at that time, that these life saving techniques should be taught to everyone who rides a motorcycle. However, since most people don’t have the time, or money to receive this type of training, I decided to modify the training I received so that the average citizen would be able to obtain similar skills.
I began teaching private citizens the police techniques at my own course about 2 years ago. By making the exercises 24 feet, rather than the standard 18 feet the police courses use, I was able to teach the citizen's the techniques without having to fear dropping their motorcycles. I also started writing a Tips, Tricks and Techniques article for Full Throttle Magazine and began receiving correspondence from all over the country from people wanting to attend my classes.
Since this wasn’t possible to teach everyone, everywhere, I decided to make a video. The video gives riders a step by step approach to the proper way to learn to control your motorcycle. It allows a rider to see for themselves what a motorcycle is capable of doing and how to take advantage of that maneuverability. In other words, you learn to ride the motorcycle the way it was designed to be ridden.
I also included an audio cassette tape with the video which repeats the instructions on the techniques and will allow the rider to go to a parking lot, listen to the tape, and perform their training at their own pace, as if I were standing right there giving them private instructions.
The pictures you see on my web-site were all taken with the motorcycle going between 3 and 5mph. Their purpose is to show you what can be done if you only know the proper techniques and how to apply them. Once you learn these techniques, and how to use them, your riding ability will increase tremendously as will your safety and enjoyment. Welcome to a whole new world of motorcycling.
