Motorcycle Training
Beginner Riding Classes
Aside from the NHTS program that we utilize for private lessons, our instructors work with local certified sites to provide beginning rider training. Our new rider instruction is a comprehensive riding program taught by certified instructors. The program consists of both classroom training and many hours of hands on riding instruction. Please contact us and if we cannot provide the services you are looking for we can put you in touch with one of our affiliates who can. The basic program provides the beginning motorcyclist with both mental and physical skills necessary to minimize risk on the street.
In our classroom you will learn about:
- Different types of motorcycles
- How motorcycles operate
- Riding Gear, what to wear for comfort and protection
- How alcohol and other drugs effect you on your motorcycle
During the riding portions we will cover:
- Riding Fundamentals
- Shifting
- Braking
- Cornering
- Swerving
- Motorcycle Dynamics
Each class is limited to a 6 to 1 student instructor ratio. Learning is a fun, step by step process in a secure area and in most cases we can provide you with a motorcycle for this process.
As a student you will need to provide your own riding gear:
- Sturdy non-flared long pants
- Sturdy over the ankle footwear
- Jacket
- Full fingered motorcycle gloves
- Helmet Eye Protection
- And if necessary Rain Gear
You must be at least 16 years old to participate, Students under 18 years of age will require a waiver signed by a parent or guardian. Ability to ride a bicycle is also a requirement for admission to the basic class.
Most of our classes are scheduled over a 2-1/2 day period, an evening followed by two full days. We start with a classroom session and rotate between riding and classroom. Our curriculum is designed for the new or novice rider and our time and schedule is also geared for the new and novice rider. So if you want to ride, or improve your ride let us know and we will put you on the right path to safely operating a motorcycle.
