Scheduled Courses Dates:
The first section of the course focuses on the absolute basics, such as getting on and off the bike, pushing and parking it, starting and shutting down the engine, slow-speed riding and shifting.
In the second section, you will learn techniques for maneuvering the bike at slow and intermediate speeds, emphasizing smooth machine control.
The third section mirrors police and EMS training, teaching essential emergency techniques, such as collision avoidance, controlled optimum braking, and trail braking.
If deemed ready by the instructor, you will proceed to the fourth section: a controlled group ride with classmates and instructors. This ride covers a variety of conditions, beginning with slow, low-traffic residential routes and progressing to major roads.
All on-bike training takes place at the CentreFire Place parking lot.
