Stayin’ Safe is best known for its established on-street training tours that are conducted in a growing number of locations from just west of Washington, DC to California. But we also offer custom training tours for small groups in virtually any location around the country. For those wanting private, one-on-one training or training for a group of riders, Stayin’ Safe is able to put together special training sessions in each of our established tour areas or, for those willing to cover instructor travel expenses, in virtually any location.
Here’s what we do ...
Stayin’ Safe provides real world, on-road training. Regardless of which training program you choose, our training programs are similar in that they offer riders of nearly every motorcycle type and experience level a fun opportunity to learn visual strategies and techniques for smoother cornering and safer riding on twisty, scenic roads. With a target ratio of three or four students for each instructor, we conduct our training primarily on mountain roads, in rural settings and smallish towns with limited riding on divided highways and in urban environments (although we do have programs available for this type of riding).
And here's how we do it ...
Using one-way radio communication, instructors provide coaching in real-world situations. This approach enables riders to apply new visual strategies and to sharpen cornering and braking skills en route in real time. In addition to the real-time coaching, our instructors conduct “chalk talks”, creating a virtual classroom along the roadside. These breaks provide opportunities to illustrate concepts and address any questions participants may have. Our training tours are not fast sport rides and all riding sessions begin slowly. When conditions permit, we do sometimes enjoy an "adult" pace. At times we will ride at the pace of the slowest rider, but never at a faster pace than each student is comfortable with.
