Thumbs up Abate

For any new riders or anyone needing to brush up on basic skills, I recommend taking the Basic Riders Course I just finished mine this weekend and I did learn new things and better ways of doing others. Ive been riding for quite awhile but it was worth the price to me. The instructors were very friendly and very knowledgeable and helped coach the entire class without treating anyone like they were noobs or idiots.

I had to take the course to get my bike license but after being away from riding for 30 years, I knew it'd do me some good. I still do things the way the instructor said and that was December '12. And every time I do, I think of him.
