Questions are answered hereClick on the questions below to see the answers 1) Will I dump my bike? 1) Will I dump my bike? No -- unless you do something completely outside the norm! The exercises are designed to build your skills, not scare you. Bottom line: if this WERE dangerous, or I had to worry about my bike going down, I wouldn't be using MY motorcycle to demonstrate these exercises!!! Return to Top 2) Do I need a Basic Course first? No... it's nice to have, it makes the RiderCoach’s job easier, but it's not necessary. This Course is a condensed version of the Basic Course that takes advantage of your knowledge and experiences. The vast majority of riders who take this course have not had any previous formal training. Return to Top
4) How long is the course? Approximately 5 to 6 hours... mostly doing range exercises that concentrate on braking, cornering, and swerving. There is a period of time when we talk about our motorcycling experiences. If you share your experiences with your fellow riders you will find this time a lot of fun, and a learning experience. Return to Top 5) What does it cost? $40 per rider ($20 for co-riders if you wish to ride 2-up -- most, but not all exercises, can be done 2-up, and if uncomfortable, I allow you to practice 1-up before you put your Co-rider on the back). There are reimbursement and incentive plans available to those who qualify. [Check out possibility of being reimbursed for course at Reimbursement page.] Return to Top 6) How do I get into a class? You register on-line, and become part of a rider pool. When RidingSafety schedules a class, you will be emailed and provided the date. If the scheduled date will work for you, you pay and get a class slot -- it is that simple. Return to Top 7) What do I get when it's done? A MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) Completion Card -- proof of training that is honored by most insurance companies for a discount on your motorcycle insurance premium. You also leave a better rider -- with new techniques, a heightened awareness of motorcycling hazards, and more capability to defend yourself against them. Return to Top 8) I'm concerned about doing this. Most riders are, if they are honest. The two questions most rider wonder are: "Am I good enough?" and "Will I embarrass myself?" (there are others, but these 2 concerns normally surface.) If you meet the definition of an experienced rider (which is time on a bike and some current mileage -- like 3000 within the last year), you are good enough to complete this course. We are a team... you want more out of your riding... I take pride in my coaching ability... we will work together to succeed. Using a controlled, building block approach that you will find very comfortable, we will concentrate on three specific areas to improve your riding skills -- braking, cornering, and swerving. You will learn with each exercise, and find yourself enjoying doing them. They will also form the basis for your practicing on your own. As for embarrassing yourself, you may! We've had some great laughs during the range exercises because you're amongst friends and having fun -- so if you mess-up, fess-up, and watch and see if someone else doesn't admit to doing the very same thing or having the same problem! This course was built for you, the experienced rider -- take it, you'll see. Other riders had concerns too, but took the course, and are glad they did. Take a minute and read the Graduates' Feedback -- they are talking to you. Return to Top 9) Anything else? Yes, come expecting to have fun and learn something. If neither happens, let me know!!! Also, you must sign a RELEASE, WAIVER AND INDEMNIFICATION form and acknowledge you understand the TRAINING RULES before you participate in class. These forms are posted here to allow you to read and comprehend them before signing up for the class. You must sign them to receive this training. Return to Top Ready to register for a class?
