Courses
LEARN TO RIDE PROGRAM
Get ready to hit the road with our Learn to Ride safety program.
Our 20 hour comprehensive course is great for everyone who has not taken formal training before. This course is great for new riders and would also if you have been away from riding for several years. There will be 16 hours of on track training accompanied with 4 hours of online theory.
This course provides you with all the skills you need to be safe on the road. We start with the absolute basics and build to a full set of skills including: clutch control, shifting, slow speed maneuvers, braking and swerving for emergency situations as well as cornering skills. The majority of your time is spent on the bike.
Learn with our licensed, professional instructors who provide constant feedback to help you improve in each exercise, with a low student to instructor ratio.
