The GWRRA Rider Courses cover all of these and more in a friendly, open, and safe environment. The range is usually a closed parking lot for safety. Cones and lines painted on the ground mark the layout of the exercises. On some exercises, the objective is to stay within the painted lines, but if you happen to cross a line, that’s okay! The instructor will coach you on your technique to help you try to stay within the lines on your next run take your riding skills and techniques for granted? Have you challenged yourself lately to see just how much you know about riding, or how well you can execute basic riding skills? And what about your mental approach to riding? Do you have a strategy that helps you identify potential hazards and how to deal with them? Co-riders – are you doing as much as you could to help keep you both safe? Are you making the bike easier to handle while traveling, or are you snoozing?

The purpose of the Rider Courses is to teach, refresh, remind, and reinforce proper riding techniques. The goal is to help each and every student improve both their mental and physical riding skills so they ride better and safer, for years to come.
So, are you ready and willing to become a better rider or co-rider? Michigan GWRRA has Rider Course training for you and your ride. The GWRRA courses are the Advanced Rider Course (ARC) for motorcycles, the Trike Rider Course (TRC), and the Sidecar Rider Course (SRC). Contact your local chapter educator or your District Educator to inquire about the availability of a class near you. Or sign up to take a course at Wing Ding, where all three courses are usually offered. Think of the Rider Course training as being better than motorcycle insurance. After all, your insurance only pays off in the event of an accident. Rider Course training helps you learn and practice skills to avoid the accident in the first place! The investment pays off every time you avoid an accident.
