11:00- 5:00- No Lunch Break
The course features demonstrations and drills to learn and refine advanced body positioning, shifting, braking, throttle and cornering skills. We may also do some slow-maneuver practice. A cone course will allow you to put these techniques into practice.
This course is for all levels of experienced riders with at least 1,000 miles under their belt. This is not for brand new riders. New riders should sign up for a basic rider course with their state motorcycle safety program
What to Expect
The morning will include coaching and practice.

After lunch, we will ride a cone course (think autocross) so students can practice what they learned in the morning.
