Even if you’ve been riding for some time, there’s always something new to learn. Increasing numbers of seasoned riders are flocking to the seven-hour Experienced RiderCourse® to hone their skills and fine-tune the mental skills needed for survival in traffic.
In the classroom you’ll discuss with your peers how to balance the mental and physical aspects of safe riding, manage risk, increase visibility and optimize your lane position. The Experienced RiderCourse® also covers protective gear, rider responsibility, motorcycle inspection and care, the effects of alcohol and other drugs on riding, and a skill evaluation and knowledge test.
Using your own motorcycle, you’ll put into practice the techniques of managing traction, controlling rear-wheel skids, stopping quickly, cornering and swerving.
