I must have been doing the motor bike sound since I was a nipper, unfortunately I need to work on using it several times in a sentence at Ducati speed as the lady in the link does.
My version seems to come from under the front of the tongue and not the throat.

Ask a Scottish person to say the word 'murder', slowly, and copy them.

I learnt this trick on a language course, and although it sounds counter-intuitive, it worked for me..to an extent...
When you've got a word with a R in it, like "pero" or even "perro", start to say L when you get to the R.

that does work - it gets your tongue where it needs to be

it doesn't need to be there for pero though......... you can say that just like an English R

I find that most people do not seem to hear any ´r´s that I say unless I emphasise them more than normal. Classic an hour ago was when a lady that I have known for 6 years asked me my name and no matter how many times I said it she just did not get it, in the end her granddaughter told her and then she called me Rosa, so I gave up.

No, agree, but once you learn how to do it, it's hard to stop!
