Saskatoon Motorcycle Training Course
Weekend Course
July 4-6, 2008
Course Itinerary
Each evening students will learn practical, as well as educational, information about the safe operation of a motorcycle. Defensive driving skills are emphasized and taught to all students.
If weather should cause a delay in practical riding, Saturday morning will be used to complete the course. We want people to come prepared to ride even if it is raining, as the day will probably come for all riders to ride in the rain and it is also good experience.
Practical driving skills, that include everything from the basics up to emergency maneuvers:
- cornering
- braking
- shifting
- balance
- controls, etc
Classroom instruction will cover:
- accident avoidance
- group riding tips
- riding gear suggestions
- passengers and how they affect the ride
- emergency situations
- rider awareness, and
- bad weather survival, etc.
