Become a Road Guardian
April 12, 2014
What would you do if you saw your fellow-motorcycle brethren go down in a serious crash? Most of us would do what we can, which mostly entails calling 911 and hoping for the best. However, if you became a Road Guardian, then that feeling of helplessness would be replaced by knowledge and purpose, which just might save a life.
Members of the Road Guardians are trained in First Response education, as well as general motorcycle safety, impaired rider education, apparel education and motorist awareness education. The purpose of the Road Guardians is to reduce injuries and fatalities by preventing accidents in the first place, and learning how to deal with the carnage after they happen.
There are both free and paid memberships available. For more information, visit www.roadguardians.org.

High Speed Training
March 31, 2014
After you have finished your initial motorcycle training, taken classes in the Motorcycle Safety Foundation school, and received your motorcycle license, you might feel like you know it all. Not even close. You know nothing.
The next step in rider education is to experience riding at highways speeds and surviving disasters. Even after years of experience, many riders find that they are still learning, still crashing, and still have much to learn. Rather than risking your life learning these hard lessons on the road, try a weekend class in the RideSmart program to perfect your motorcycle skills.
RideSmart is a very real, hands-on school that teaches riders everything they need to know about riding a motorcycle – from street skills to racing skills. By providing high-speed training on a private track, RideSmart trainers teach motorcyclists how to perfect the art of throttle control, braking, turning and everything else they need to know to ride like a pro. It’s a great way to continue your education in a safe, controlled environment.
