The range card

Slow first. Then the stop.
Then the road.

In motor school nobody rides the highway until the cones are boring. The collection follows the same order, and every drill ends the way we graded it: Done when.

  1. Range card1

    The Full-Lock U-Turn

    The three controls as one: friction zone, steady throttle, rear brake. Chin to the exit. Lean the bike, not you.

    Done when: you can hold full lock for a whole circle each way, feet up.

    Vol. I
  2. Range card2

    The Stop on the Line

    Bars straight, bike upright, and look before your boot lands. Then hills, crowns, gravel and the space that slopes.

    Done when: eight stops out of ten: front tire on the line, bars straight, bike upright, left foot down after the wheels stopped.

    Vol. II
  3. Range card3

    Brake, Press, Swerve

    Hard stops in a straight line, countersteering and the swerve, for the moment you have no time to think.

    Done when: eight swerves in a row through the called gate, eyes on the gap first, no brake during the swerve, and a straight ride out.

    Vol. III
  4. Range card4

    The Corner and the Year

    The five corner mistakes, the corner method, traffic routines for every ride, and a 12-week requalification.

    Done when: ten runs where you touch the apex cone's side past the middle of the curve and finish near the exit cone with room to spare.

    Vol. III

Head and eyes. The bike follows.

Is it for you?

This is for you if…

  • Your bike wobbles at walking pace and your foot goes down halfway through a U-turn.
  • Your stomach tightens at a stop sign with gravel, a gas station on a slope or a parking space that's nose-down.
  • You ride a big touring bike, bagger or cruiser, you're 60 or past it, and the bike feels heavier every year.
  • You want the habits that keep you upright in traffic: the hard stop, the swerve and the corner line.

It's not for you if you want tricks to show off on the street. Everything here is practiced in an empty lot, in full gear, until it's boring. That's how it works.

Rick Mason

Meet the author

Hi, I'm Rick

For twenty-six years I rode a heavy motorcycle for a living. Fourteen of them I ran motor school: the course where new motor officers learn to move a big bike between cones at walking pace.

I'm retired now, in Mesa, Arizona. Almost nobody I meet is a bad rider. On the highway they're fine. It's the last three feet that get them: the U-turn at the end of a dead-end street, a stop on gravel, a parking space on a slope.

These three books are the course, in the order I taught it, written for riders on big bikes. Every chapter has a box that's easier on your knees, back and hands, and where the technique changes, a box for shorter riders.

See you on the range. — Rick

Questions

Before you
decide

I've ridden for thirty years. Is this for beginners?

No. It's for riders who are fine on the highway and uneasy at walking pace. The books start where the trouble is: the U-turn, the stop, the parking lot.

I ride a big bagger. Does it work on a heavy bike?

Yes. All three books are written for heavy bikes: touring bikes, baggers and big cruisers. A lighter bike just makes it easier.

Do I need a training range or special cones?

No. An empty parking lot, the owner's permission and a handful of cones. Vol. III shows you how to lay out your own range and measure it without a tape.

My knees and back aren't what they were. Can I still do this?

Yes. Every chapter has an "Easier on your knees, back and hands" box, and Vol. III has a part called Riding Your Age. If something worries you, talk to your doctor first.

I can't put both feet flat on the ground. Will it work for me?

Yes. Wherever the technique changes for a shorter rider, there's a box that shows you how, and each book puts them all together at the back.

Where do I start?

Start with the honest ride check at the front of Vol. III. It tells you which chapter to ride first.

What exactly do I get?

The complete collection gives you all three volumes for $97. Vol. I and Vol. II are also sold on their own ($27 and $47); Vol. III only comes in the complete collection.

How do I receive it?

Right after payment you get your access link, on screen and by email. It's yours to keep, and there's nothing to wait for.

Can I read it on a tablet or computer? Can I print it?

Yes. It opens on any phone, tablet or computer. You can zoom the text as large as you like, or print the pages and cards at home and pin them up in the garage.

Is the payment secure?

Yes. You'll pay on a secure checkout page run by Payhip, a platform used by thousands of independent authors. Pay by card or PayPal. It's a one-time payment: no subscription.

What if it's not for me?

You're covered by a 7-day money-back guarantee. Ask for a refund within 7 days and you get every cent back. Just write to [email protected].

No more foot down.
No more tip-overs.

All three books, one price, and a money-back guarantee while you ride the first range cards in your own lot.
