You asked, I listened. Introducing three mentoring modules for those wanting personal assistance from me. Please understand that due to time constraints, I can only accept a few riders at a time.

If you feel overwhelmed trying to select your first motorcycle, you’re not alone. I felt the same way years ago when I started looking. No worries, this module is for you. Here, I’ll step you through the process and help you select the best first motorcycle for you, just like my motorcycle mentors helped me.
Module 1 includes:
- MM First Motorcycle Questionnaire
The first step in the process is to understand your riding goals and objectives. I’ve developed an exclusive First Motorcycle Questionnaire that I want you to complete. What, homework? You’re darn right. Completing this Questionnaire is the best way for me (and you) to understand your riding goals and objectives.Once you confirm a slot, I’ll send you the questionnaire. You can take as long as you’d like to complete it. Some finish in a few hours. Others spend more time trying to define their likes, dislikes and objectives. I spent weeks developing this questionnaire. Many of the questions are the same questions my motorcycle mentors asked me.
After you complete the questionnaire, I promise you’ll know more about yourself and your riding objectives, and so will I.
- Questionnaire Analysis
Once I receive your completed First Motorcycle Questionnaire, I’ll analyze your inputs. This usually takes me several days because I try hard to get inside your head and understand your goals. Your budget plays a factor, as do the other 50+ responses you provide. I usually send my analysis via Word document so you can read and understand my responses.From here I’ll ask followup questions as I attempt to narrow your selection to a particular category (or two) of motorcycle: touring, sport-touring, dirt-bike, sport-bike, dual-sport, adventure bike, scooter, cruiser, or standard. If you don’t understand what each bike looks like, that’s not a problem. I send you my exclusive guide that explains what each motorcycle category looks like (along with strengths and weaknesses) and pictures of examples within each category.
- Unlimited Email Access
At this point, we have hopefully narrowed out some of the categories. Instead of nine categories, we are now focusing on two or maybe three categories of motorcycle. This step, in itself, will take a huge load off your shoulders. You will be more confident that you are making progress and most students get excited.Next, I send you examples of motorcycles on eBay and Craigslist that you can look at to see if you think they might fit your objectives. From here we will continue to communicate back and forth until we narrow your selection to one (maybe two) categories. Next, I’ll help you find several different motorcycles within your narrowed categories for you to review. I’ll help you find online reviews, Youtube videos and other material from which you can gauge reliability and note things to notice when you go look at them.
Once we narrow your model selection to two or three bikes, I’ll attempt to find that model locally for you to look at. I use Cycletrader, Craigslist and local classifieds to do this. Our main objective in this module is to narrow your search from thousands of motorcycles to a couple that will best fit your needs. If you’d like me to help you find/buy the best motorcycle, for the best price, without getting scammed, look at Module 3 (How to find a great used motorcycle online without getting scammed).
- Personal One-on-One Access
Sometimes a personal phone conversation works better than email. So, this module includes (2) 30 minute one-on-one phone calls between you and me. This is optional and you get to decide if you want to talk to me. If email is working, that’s fine with me.But I do want to offer one-on-one access via phone if needed.
- 100% Money Back Guarantee
That’s right. If at any time you feel that I am not living up to all my promises, simply let me know and I’ll refund all your money. It’s that simple. But I’m confident you will be more than satisfied. That’s why I offer such an iron-clad guarantee.
If I added up all the time I spent on each student, I’d probably stop doing this. But I enjoy helping others find their next motorcycle. It really can be fun!
I’m offering a special price for the first mentoring students. You get to help me tailor my training process. Don’t be miserable with your first motorcycle, like most. You’ve heard me say many times that the perfect first motorcycle doesn’t exist. But if you don’t get the right one to fit your riding goals you will hate it. It’s just that simple. This program will insure that you don’t make the same mistakes most beginning riders make selecting the wrong first motorcycle.

Motorcycle Mentor Module 2: Selecting your next motorcycle

– 2 Openings starting August 1, 2014
Available now to purchase.

If you’ve been riding for decades and are in the market for your next motorcycle, this module is for you. The process is somewhat similar to selecting your first motorcycle, but different. Maybe you’ve been riding a sport-touring bike but want to ride to Alaska. Hello Adventure bike. I can personally relate to this scenario. Or maybe you’ve been riding a dirt bike and want to move to a street bike but you’re not sure which type you should purchase. Or maybe you ride a cruiser but your butt is killing you on long rides.
Perfect, I can help step you through the process and help you select the particular model that fits your riding goals, your body size, and your budget.
Module 2 includes:
Simple put, Module 2 includes everything that Module 1 includes above. I use all the same steps that I outlined above in Module 1 (Selecting your first motorcycle). But in this module I’ll focus more on defining your riding goals and understanding what you are looking to do over the next year or two of riding.
Also included in Module 2 is my 100% Money Back Guarantee! Easy as that.

Motorcycle Mentor Module 3: Buying a used motorcycle without getting scammed.

If you want to save thousands on a used motorcycle, but you’re uncomfortable using Craigslist, eBay, Cycletrader and your local classified ads, this module is for you. I’ve bought and sold big ticket items (motorcycles and cars) and small ticket items (computers, garage items, etc.) using Craigslist, eBay and Cycletrader.
Each online service has advantages and disadvantages. In some situations, I prefer one service over the other. But anyone can find solid deals using them. Unfortunately, you can also get scammed using all of them. In this module, I’ll teach you how to spot the good deals, how to spot the scams and how to complete the purchase transaction.
Module 3 includes:
- How to use Craigslist, eBay and Cycletrader Training
The first step in using these online tools is to understand them. In this section I teach you how to use each service using exclusive video base training (I’ve developed) that shows you the secrets to navigating the clutter. I’ll also give you a list of the top tools and smartphone apps I use to make the search easier.I will also show you how to determine what a fair price is for the particular motorcycle you are looking for. I don’t use Kelly Blue Book. Instead I use eBay. Sound hard? Not after I show you.
- Narrowing your list
During the process, we will discuss particular models you are looking for. I will give you feedback on your selection if you ask. Otherwise I will assume you have done your own homework. After these discussions, we will have a short list of one or two motorcycles (year, colors, features) that you want to purchase.Some narrow their list to a couple of motorcycles. Others narrow it down further to only one motorcycle (one model year, one color). Either way is fine.
- Finding your next motorcycle
At this point, we have a list of motorcycles you are interested in purchasing. I’ve taught you how to use Craigslist, eBay and Cycletrader. But this next part of the training is where I help you find motorcycles in your area of the United States to look at and potentially purchase. That’s right, I will actually help you find your next motorcycle. This part of the process can take weeks or even months. If you don’t mind having the bike shipped, then it will be easier. We can broaden your search radius. If you want to find the motorcycle within a hundred miles, it will take longer.I will send you listings I find that I want you to look at. You can send me listings you want me to look at too. Looking for your next motorcycle is fun. We will work together to weed out the scams and to find the jewels.
Hopefully we can find a few motorcycles for you to look at close to your house. I wish I could go with you to look at them, but we most likely live in different parts of the country. So, you’ll have to go solo or with a friend. But don’t worry, I’ll coach you through the visit.
There are certain things to expect and not expect depending on whether you are using Craigslist, eBay or Cycletrader. For example, don’t expect someone on Craigslist to offer test rides on their motorcycle. The only way I have let someone ride it before they bought it was to hand me cash to hold when they rode it (with the understanding that if they dropped it, they just purchased my motorcycle). Even this has some risks to both parties.
- Closing the deal
After you agree to purchase the motorcycle, the next part is to complete the legal transaction. There are some important gotchas here too. Don’t worry, I’ll guide you through this part of the process too. Does the owner have a lien on the motorcycle? Do you really want to give them cash for the motorcycle even though the bank has the title? Generally, I prefer to deal with individuals that have “title in hand.” But there are safe ways to complete the transaction even if you want to finance the motorcycle or if they have a lien on it. I’ll guide you through the process.Depending on whether you have the bike shipped, pick it up with a trailer, or ride it back there are some things you will need to make sure you do. What about insurance? What about a tag during your trip. Each state is different, but I’ll guide you through what questions need to be asked. You don’t want to get this part wrong. I’ll tell you what questions you need to ask your insurance agent and what questions you need to ask your DMV.
We will also talk about the Bill of Sale, getting insurance, getting a tag, and the importance of taking a friend as a witness. Don’t worry if this sounds complicated. You will be the pro in no time.
