Our
Curriculum
Nationally recognized instructional techniques which are used to train
police motor officers across the country are now available to civilian
riders. This intensive 40+ hour class will develop your coordination,
balance, skill and confidence, enabling you to ride with the safety and
efficiency enjoyed by police motor officers. The key components of the
class include: clutch, throttle and brake control combined with proper
head and eye placement. Students are immersed in braking techniques,
defensive driving, curve negotiation, street riding and precision riding
through specially designed cone patterns that require locked turns along
with radical changes of direction in tight places. BONUS: you can use
OUR bikes and spend your time honing your skills without worry about
damage to your expensive ride.
This training is
available no where else in the country, unless you happen to be a police
motor officer! Once you acquire these skills, you’ll wonder how you ever
managed without them!
Day 1-Introduce basic motor operational skills; gray area, head and eye
coordination, efficient braking
Gray area –
Introduction and beginning application of coordinated use of the
throttle, clutch, and brake for low speed motor control
Head/eye coordination
– Introduction of looking where you want to go as the key to controlling
motor direction.
Efficient braking –
Introduction of the 7 elements of braking that enable a rider to stop
comfortably using the front and rear brakes without locking either brake
and remain fully in control of the motorcycle while stopping.
Day 2-Continue practice of basic operational skills; introduce
aggressive braking/escape
Gray area – Students
demonstrate improved gray area control.
Head/eye coordination
– Students demonstrate improved head/eye placement
Aggressive braking –
Students demonstrate the ability to apply the 7 elements of effective
braking to effectively stop the motorcycle.
Day 3-Continue practice of precision motor control and aggressive
braking, introduce at-speed counter steering
Gray area – Student
demonstrates a solid grasp of gray area control of the motorcycle.
Head/eye coordination
– The student demonstrates proper head eye placement during all
exercises.
Aggressive braking –
The student demonstrates continued improvement by increasing speed
during the braking exercise.
Counter steering – The
student demonstrates a solid understanding of the concept of counter
steering.
Day 4-Final work on precision motor control, aggressive braking and
counter steering; introduce the look-lock-lean exercise and complete
riding exam.
Gray area – Student
demonstrates a solid grasp of gray area control of the motorcycle using
while performing proficiency exercises
Head/eye coordination
– The student demonstrates proper head eye placement during all
exercises, including braking, counter steering, proficiency and curb
pullouts.
Aggressive braking –
The student demonstrates the ability to make multiple stops within the
stop-box.
Counter steering – The
student demonstrates a solid understanding of the concept of counter
steering and can complete the counter steering exercise.
Look-lock-lean
exercise – The student demonstrates highly refined motorcycle control by
demonstrating their ability to make figure 8s with the motorcycle
steering at full lock.
Riding exam - Students
will demonstrate their skills by completing a four part riding exam;
completing a 13 pattern proficiency course, demonstrate proper braking
and escape technique, execute counter steering for obstacle avoidance
and control the motorcycle at full lock and transition.
