Thinking about taking the "Experienced Rider Course" at the HD Riding Academy the next time it is offered. Will appreciate any feedback from persons who have taken it within the last year. Specifically, I would like to know:
1. Did it help you improve your skills?
2. What skill level should a person have before taking the course?
3. Were tip-overs a risk in the course?

Thanks.

 

1 - didn't improve skills measurably, but highlighted areas where my skills needed work
2 - I don't have an answer. Refer to the course description
3 - yes. It happened at least once in my class of four students.

 

When I was an instructor, we had various levels of students in the experienced riders course. I've had people with 30 years experience tell me they learned alot. Others already had a course or track day.

It will probably help to improve your skills. But you will need more practice after the class is done.

At least 500 miles before taking the experienced course.

Tip overs are not uncommon, but didn't happen every class.
