Bike Bonding
This class focuses on precision skills and is based on similar police-style training. Drills and skill circuits will give riders ample opportunity to improve their performance. Control operation and body positioning are emphasized to master smoothness and precision. Really working on motorcycle manipulation skills helps the rider maximize their low-speed control and put the bike where they want it.
The primary value of having good "bike bonding" is that it will transfer to street riding. After taking a Bike Bonding class riders should be able to be smooth on the controls and have more mental capacity to strategize about the ever-changing aspects of street riding (looking out for traps and escape paths).
Benefits include increased confidence and comfort with riding at low speed. A valid motorcycle permit or license endorsement is required.
