Americade offers free bike and trike safety training
Americade Press Release - Mar 3, 2009
|
Americade, the world’s largest motorcycle touring rally, announces that they will now offer free trike safety training classes to all registered Americaders. Bill Dutcher, Americade Founder said; "With the growing number of trike riders and the upswing in trike conversions in the motorcycle community, there's a growing need for effective instruction. Currently, Trike Riders International offers an excellent, proven trike instruction course, so we are delighted to partner with them."
The Trike Safety Training is offered through Trike Riders International in conjunction with the GWRRA (Gold Wing Road Riders Association). The full day course will be offered on two days. As with all safety training at Americade, the course is free to registered Americaders, but a fully refundable $50 deposit will be collected to guarantee the rider’s spot. This is the perfect opportunity for riders and co-riders to sharpen their riding skills.
These trike courses are in addition to the MSF Experienced RiderCourse that is always offered for registered Americaders throughout Americade Week. The classes last 5-6 hours and focus on managing traction, quick braking, and sharpening cornering and swerving skills. They also focus on using strategies to reduce risk as well as honing mental skills for traffic.
With over 50,000 expected to attend Americade, classes will surely fill quickly. Class size for both the ERC and Trike Safety Training is limited, and participants must pre-register for the courses through the Americade website. This year, Americade runs from June 1st-6th.
