Ride and get trained weekend

 
training

This introduction course is different to what one normally expects! Getting together at a central spot gives us the opportunity to get to know each other and to prepare bike and person for the days ahead. 

Only the first hour or so is static and then we depart on our training ride of about 150 kilometres. A back up vehicle follows us around.

As the well chosen route leads us to and over obstacles the course takes shape and the student gets more and more acquainted and at ease with his or her motorcycle. 

Day two sees us leaving from the same place and increases the intensity!

The technique needed for the specific obstacle gets demonstrated and practised where ever we find that obstacle!

This step by step introduction to the finer points of handling your motorcycle is conducted with safety as the paramount factor.

The basics behind safety on and off the bike are discussed in dept, protective clothing,
riding gear, packing your motorcycle and much more is on the agenda.

Motorcycle's are about riding the roads and paths of your choice and riding experience makes these trips safer and more enjoyable. Unfortunately this comes only with “time spend in the saddle” and is as we all know a slow process and some bad habits may be formed while doing it this way.

This course gives the student the opportunity to take a shortcut to good habits and learn from the instructors "time in the saddle" and experience. Therefore a large part of the day is spend on the motorcycle doing basic handling, clutch, brake and throttle control. All this while having fun and spending the day with new friends on the road.

The course is conducted in small groups of typically six students and two overnight venues are used, one near Wellington and the other in the Cederberg mountains. The course starts at 08h30 in the morning with a short lunch break and ends typically at about 16h30 giving one enough time to get to the shower and join the guys around the camp fire!
