If you have ridden very little or not at all you should register for this class. In this motorcycle Safety Foundation class, you will learn the location and operation of all of the motorcycle controls, to balance and ride easily with the most advanced techniques.

Experienced riders are encouraged and will find themselves learning new information and gaining new riding skills very quickly. The second day you will learn advanced braking, cornering and swerving techniques as well as traffic survival strategies.
