MSF Expands Adventure Bike Rider Course

[advrider]

The Motorcycle Safety Foundation is announcing the expansion of its Adventure Bike Rider Course. It’s a one-day course that includes riding and discussions on a dirt training range. To attend, you must bring your own adventure or dual-sport motorcycle.

The training is open to licensed motorcycle riders with experience in street-based riding.  However, students do not have to have any off-road riding experience to participate.

The Adventure Bike Rider Course provides training in 12 fundamental skills that adventure riders should master for riding their bikes on unpaved surfaces. In addition, participants will receive training on topics such as riding on low-traction surfaces, emphasizing body positioning, and rider-active control techniques needed for off-road environments.
