Training saves lives

Many studies show that over 90% of motorcyclists who are involved in accidents are either untrained or trained by someone they know. Knowing how to operate the controls of a motorcycle is simple enough and can be taught quickly; however, learning how to master those controls and implement them in a real world scenario takes specific training and practice. Venturing out onto the road having had no formal training is foolhardy at best and in today’s distracted cell phone happy society it’s downright dangerous. If you have anyone at home who cares about you the best thing you can do to ease their minds is to wear adequate safety gear, be a serious rider and seek out formal training from someone experienced and competent. Only after you’ve been trained and you can operate the controls of a motorcycle without thinking about the physical actions involved should you venture out into traffic.

The Motorcycle Safety Foundation is the best place to start; but the waiting times can be long before a class has an opening. I can provide both closed course and on-the-road training at a location of your choosing to help you get ready to ride confidently in traffic. My rates are reasonable and I can train novices as well as experienced riders and can also pick up where the MSF course leaves off, with specific on-the-road training.

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in training.
