KICKSTART

KICKSTART is an optional 3-hour course with 4 Exercises

SCHEDULE & REGISTER

We recommend Kickstart for people with no experience or are unsure if riding a motorcycle is really for them. It is on some Wednesdays and Thursday evenings beginning the end of April. We provide lightweight and easy to maneuver motorcycles for you to use during the course. Kickstart consists of 3 hours of basic “on bike” riding instruction. No tests, no pressure, no worries. Student to instructor ratio is very low. It will give you valuable clutch and throttle practice to help you keep up with the fast pace of the basic rider course.

  • This Course is for:
    • Anyone who has never ridden a motorcycle.
    • Anyone who wants to see if learning to ride is right for them.
    • Anyone who wants a taste of motorcycling in a low-risk environment.
    • Anyone who wants extra time to prepare for the Basic Rider Course.
  • Participant Requirements

    As a minimum, each student must be able to ride and balance a bicycle. Each student MUST provide and wear the following required safety gear during the experience:

    • D.O.T. approved helmet (loaners available)
    • Eye protection (glasses or face shield)
    • Full-fingered gloves
