Introductory Motorcycle Experience REGISTER
A two-hour first-touch experience to “try on” a motorcycle.
Through a series of guided activities, this hands-on, learner-centered experience offers participants an opportunity to discover if motorcycling is right for them.
Under the supervision of an MSF-certified Instructor, participants become familiar with the primary parts and controls of a typical motorcycle, manipulate and operate those controls, discover the risks of riding and the benefits of professional training.
The hands-on experience is usually enough for participants to consider whether or not learning to ride is for them. The IME is a perfect introduction to the joys of motorcycling and NOT intended to teach a person how to ride. There is no skill test or license waiver associated with this 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.
