During the course the student will discuss various topics in a fast-paced classroom segment with several fun interactive activities which will help improve perception and hazard awareness.
During the in-person riding the student will enhance both basic operating skills and crash avoidance skills. The course will emphasize how to improve braking and cornering finesse. Throughout the course the instructors will evaluate and coach each rider’s performance.
During the initial riding activities, each rider’s ability to operate a motorcycle will be evaluated by the instructors. Riders who cannot demonstrate minimum riding proficiency will not be allowed to continue and will need to consider enrolling in the Basic Rider Course or Basic Rider Course 2 (Intermediate). Riders who are not allowed to continue will not be eligible for a refund and may have to pay an additional fee to be enrolled in an alternate course.
The course concludes with a course evaluation and overall course wrap-up.
