March 2010
Spring officially starts this month and we’ll soon be enjoying some long-awaited spring riding. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or are relatively new to our sport, one of the most important things you can do for yourselves and your families is to participate in some refresher training.
Skills tend to get a little rusty when they’re not used so it’s important to refresh and re-imprint them at the beginning of the season. Even going to a parking lot and practicing quick stopping and slow speed maneuvers will be beneficial.
As Canada Safety Council certified instructors, we also need to refresh our skills. Our annual recertification program later this month prepares us for the courses which begin the last weekend in March.
By far your best option is to practice under the guidance of qualified instructors. Many of the motorcycle programs offer refresher courses; off-road courses are also an excellent way to learn to deal with the unexpected when it crops up on the road in front of you.
Need help determining the best course for you? Call us – we’ll help.
