What You’ll Learn

Benefits of group riding

Learning and fun is enhanced as students learn from each other. Your “classroom” is the uncrowded, scenic roads of Western New England.

Group training tours are a social experience where you share the tour with like-minded riders and learn as a group. The tour is for 3 or 4 riders.

1 Day Group Training: $600 per rider

Scholarships are available for all courses!!

Many insurance companies accept the Riding in the Zone completion certificate as proof of rider training that is eligible for insurance discounts.

Requirements

• You must have a current motorcycle endorsement, as well as a legally insured and registered motorcycle.
• You must also have current health insurance and sign a liability waiver.
• Have about a season (2- 3,000  miles total) of riding experience. This is not a course for raw beginners. Students are wise to take the MSF Basic RiderCourse or have an equivalent level of skill before signing up.
• You gotta wear full gear (see below).

Skill Level

Group training follows a flexible curriculum. The curriculum is appropriate for all “experienced” riders, but depending on your ability you may need to be patient with your fellow students as their skills develop. And if you’re less experienced, no worries. I customize the day to meet everyone’s needs.

What to Bring

• Riding Gear (required at all times)
  • DOT-approved helmet
  • eye protection (windshields do not count as eye protection)
  •  motorcycle jacket,
  • long pants (armored motorcycle pants preferred)
  • full coverage gloves
  • sturdy, over-the-ankle boots.
• Communicators: If you have an existing SENA  (20s, 30K, 50 series) Bluetooth communication system, please keep it in your helmet.

Where Will We Ride?

We will be touring around my little bit of motorcycling heaven in the Berkshire Hills of Western Massachusetts and southern Vermont. The beautiful Berkshire foothills have miles and miles of awesome motorcycling roads.
Rides will meet in or nearby Ashfield, MA.
NOTE: There is no cell service in Ashfield to speak of.

This is what you can expect when riding in the Berkshire Hills.

Lodging

Since we start our day at 8:30, you may want to book a room the night before (on your dime). And maybe the night after, since we end around 4:00.

Most students stay at the Red Roof Inn in South Deerfield, MA.

Participants pay for dinners and any lodging.

Here is a sample of some real-time coaching using Bluetooth communication.
