Even if you've been riding for some time, there's always something left to learn.  Increasing numbers of seasoned riders are flocking to the  Experienced Rider Course to hone their skills and fine-tune the mental drills needed for survival in traffic.
 

You'll discuss with your peers how to balance the mental and physical aspects of safe riding, manage risks, increase visibility and optimize your lane positioning.  The Experienced Rider Course also covers protective gear, rider responsibility, motorcycle inspection and care, and the effects of alcohol and other drugs on riding.
 

Using your own motorcycle, you'll put into practice the techniques of managing traction, stopping quickly, limited space maneuvers, cornering and swerving.  Statistics show that these skills are measurably absent in the experienced rider.

This class is open to riders AND their passengers (2-up).

ERC classes  are scheduled for Saturdays or Sundays, mornings or afternoons. Approximate time for the class is 5 to 6 hours.

Groups are welcome to arrange to fill an ERC with their own members at a reduced price. Call 816-478-3677.
