"Placing either foot on the ground, when the motorcycle is in motion, or both feet down while it is stopped, is proof the rider has lost control of the machine. This includes dangling your legs when starting or stopping. Motion, means any movement at all."

Ride Like A Pro© Classes

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this class really as good as I hear it is?
Yes it is. This class will undoubtedly change your riding experience forever. Many riders who have been riding for 10, 20 or even 30 years always say they thought they knew how to ride until they took this course. You will be amazed by the improvement you will notice in just a few hours of applying these techniques. Thousands of riders have taken the Ride Like A Pro© course and are safer and enjoying motorcycling more than ever. Now you can learn the same techniques by taking our Ride Like A Pro© Advanced Rider course.

I have been riding for many years and feel that I am a good rider already. Will this course benefit me?
Absolutely. No one has trouble riding at 55 mph+ down the road. If you can't lock your handlebars while in a low speed turn and scrape your pegs/floor boards without putting your foot down, then you need this course. Learning to ride in full control of your bike at low speeds makes you an overall safer and more confident rider.

I have linked brakes on my bike. Will that be a problem for taking this course?
Not at all. Linked brakes have little to no effect on applying the techniques taught in this course.

Can I damage my bike taking this course?
Not if you follow the specific instructions given during the class. The vast majority of students are able to follow the instructions given correctly and never have any issues with their bikes. A very small percentage of students do drop their bikes on occasion with little to no resulting damage. It does help to have highway bars mounted on your bike to prevent damage from accidentally dropping your bike during this course. You can also use some automotive heater hose and duct tape to protect the areas of your bike that may contact the surface if accidentally dropped while practicing these maneuvers.

I normally ride two up with a passenger. Is there different training for this?
The reality is the same techniques you learn riding solo apply to riding two up. Nothing is different besides your motor clearance will change slightly due to the added weight. The slow speed maneuvering techniques are identical.

Do you offer private lessons or instruction?
Yes, we offer private lessons tailored to meet your specific needs. Please email or call us to discuss your requirements.

Do you offer group discounts?
Yes, we offer discounts for groups with a minimum of eight participants. Please call us for more information on group rates and to reserve your training date.

Will I receive my motorcycle endorsement after this class?
No. This course is  for riders who already have a motorcycle endorsement and desire to improve their riding skills. If you are seeking the Basic Riders Course for your motorcycle endorsement, please visit Jacksonville Motorcycle Safety Training.

How much riding experience do I need to take this course?
Our requirement is that participants have at least 1,500 miles of recent riding experience at minimum and 3,000 miles riding experience is preferred.

Will training class be cancelled due to rain or foul weather?
Class will be held in light rain but not when lightning is present. Severe weather will cause class to be delayed, postponed and/or rescheduled. You will receive an email from us if a decision to postpone occurs prior to your class date. In the event class is cancelled due to weather, illness or range availability we will make every effort to reschedule you for the next available class.

How does this class compare to the MSF Advanced or Riders Edge class?
This course teaches the experienced rider the same techniques used by Motor Officers to ride in complete control of the motorcycle while at low speeds and in tight confined areas such as parking lots and county roads. The Motor Officer exercises are modified for the average civilian rider and are taught in an easy to learn skills progression format.

Will I receive a certificate upon completing the course? 
Yes, each student will receive a “Certificate Of Completion” upon completing this course. Some (not all) Insurance companies offer reduced premiums for continuing rider education.
