Inspiring, emotional, aggravating, concerning at once

How can an hour of Basic Rider 1on1 be inspiring, emotional, aggravating, concerning, plus making me real angry?! All together! I can tell ya…

Lorraine is 72 years old, and some license giving parking lot institution (let’s not call it ‘school’) let her fail. Needless to mention that it cost around the 500 bux for NOT getting taught how to ride. Instead she got yelled at and been told that she should not ride a motorcycle.

So I am listening and feeling and got this out of it… here is that 72 year old lady, looking like she went through all seven seas, and has this one dream on the bucket list- crushed by some ‘instructor’ who actually doesn’t have to teach (or maybe can’t?). Sure, I knew about these happenings way before, which is why I started offering this basic rider program in the first place- but this is quite some bullshit, isn’t it?!!!
Rebuilding confidence and that she’ll get this dream on the way was priority. It took 10 yards of rolling to make me see what she needs. I had her rolling big loops on her own in 10 minutes. Half an hour later, she

was doing 8 figures. And you should have seen Lorraine’s smile when she proudly rolled bye!!

Trust me… I could go on and on, on why some should not even dare to call themselves a teacher- why institutions just as such should not dare calling themselves a ‘school’.

Shitty information, wrong riding concepts, anxiety creating info, no individual approach, and pretty much non educational. That doesn’t need instructors. Just pass this mor or less senseless curriculum book on to the “fee payer” and let them go on their own.

I know that this might makes some of you here ‘uncomfortable’ with me, but deep down you probably are already, and subconsciously you actually know that I’m right.
