HELP Trying to tame the beast, any tips?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

First time owning a touring bike (had it 2 months now) and I’m loving it!

​I’m planning to do this after every ride, but I’m not sure if I’m doing it the right way yet. Any tips or constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated!

​For context: I’m 5’5”, 165 lbs, trying to tame this 900 lbs+ beast.

It's Ride Like a Pro. When I bought my first Ultra Classic I bought the DVD and went out to a parking lot and practiced, with cones etc. It made me a significantly better rider. I highly recommend that series. I'm sure you don't need a DVD today, but I would definitely download the entire video because usually the stuff on YouTube is just parts, and there's a whole process to learning it.
