Who is a Beginner?

Beginners want to ride comfortably yet first need to build their confidence and skills. Most new motorcyclists are excited but uneasy. They recognize that quality instruction will dramatically improve the amount of fun they have on the trail while ensuring their safety.

Would you like to learn to be safe and challenge yourself at the same time?
Would you like to improve your balance and conquer the tests posed by different seasons and riding conditions?

One part of the individual attention you will receive is to participate in a test of your skill level so you can personally obtain maximum benefit from the class. This allows for individual students to progress at their own rate, making incremental progress at the present level before graduating up to the next one.
