This course is designed for both the beginning rider and experienced rider who wants to sharpen existing skills and to learn new ones. This course is required for anyone under the age of 21 to obtain a motorcycle license.
Special emphasis is placed on mastering full control of the motorcycle.
Once this skill is developed, the course moves to the physical and mental skills needed to ride the motorcycle in comfort and safety. While the primary focus is to avoid getting into a dangerous situation, the student is taught maneuvers which have been proven to maximize accident avoidance. Basic skills are taught along with advanced skills such as swerving to avoid obstacles and emergency braking. Lecture, films, and textbooks are used, but most of the time is spent in actual on cycle exercises. Many insurance companies offer a discount upon completion of the course.
