Jerry and Robert teach the same basic principles
Staying in control of the motorcycle at slow speeds useing the clutch Friction zone and rear brake.
Take a few minutes and watch one or 2 of their videos and I promise You will do much better in your classes
Some serious slow speed skills
Try to listen to the engines sounds when these riders are taking sharp turns
Really appreciate this, FA. Slow speed execution is one of my main focuses. Will study closely. Thank you.
Once I’m finished with the class and permit test, let’s meet up. Sounds like weekends are typically better for you? Usually better for me as well.

I still practice slow speed turns
Ill use the boarder lines for slow weaves when I'm on a 2 line street and when there is no traffic
Ill often just pull into an open parking lot and practice figure 8s in 4 parking spaces or Practice intersection drills
Unfortunately for me
Some Butt Nugget stole my 2000 and fucked it up So I havent tab it in a while and I let the ins lapse
Its depressing

I have really odd days off and no 2 in a row
100%. Can't go wrong with practice.
That sucks. Well, providing all goes well with my permit test, I'll be more than happy to head up north. We'll keep checking in until we find a day, no rush.

This is impressive skill, and on bikes that are much bigger than mine. Gives me something to shoot for. Thanks.

Yah these guys Practice a lot
One thing though Your Intruder has a Hydrolic clutch system and is pron to over heating at the slave cylinder so you may need to let it cool if you practice a lot
This causes the clutch to get musshy

Another couple questions to toss out to the group: First, any recommendations on outdoor shelters/canopies? Currently it's in the garage but can't stay long term. I bought a Dowco cover, which I will use rain or shine. Not a pressing need going into the sunny season, but come late fall/winter I'll want something sturdy and dependable. Looking at everything from framed canopies to the accordian-style shelters. Want to keep the footprint small, waterproof and breathable.
Second, a battery tender. Been looking at the Battery Tender Plus. Thoughts?

Good tip, thanks. So a mushy-feeling clutch is a sign I should take a break. How long should I break at that point? Five minutes, 10 minutes?
And let's say at that point I've decided I've practiced enough for the day. Should I still let it cool down before heading home or is conventional riding not as demanding on the clutch system?

Good tip, thanks. Is there a way to determine when the temp is getting too high, either with a gauge or through observing clutch behavior? Or should I, for example, practice for 20 minutes, rest for five minutes, etc.?
Practice for 20 rest for 40
Unless you set cones up You may get board after 10 minutes
Schneider makes a good maintainer and
Stanly makes a really good battery maintaner

I've had the Stanley for going on 15 years now and it still work great.

That's two for the Stanley. What's the model / model number? Thanks.
Mine is an older model but I think this one is about the same. At least everything seems the same. The important part is you want a maintainer not just a charger. https://www.stanleytools.com/product/bc ... maintainer
