Motorcycle Simulator Courses:  Optional for motorcycle operators or individuals contemplating becoming a motorcycle operator - HIGHLY recommended

Simulation has the unique ability to allow students to repeat tasks without the risk of negative consequences degrading the learning environment. Students learn from repetition of tasks and can meet increasingly closer tolerances without error.

 Motorcyclists are exposed to a safe training environment that allows practicing of “real-world” speeds in a visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning-space to develop critical motor-skills and tasks. More importantly, the ability to review in a 3-dimensional learning-space affords the instructor and student the opportunity to view and discuss performance, technique, success, and errors. 

An orientation period will be required for students to acclimate to the simulator.  The purpose of the simulator is to practice techniques and procedures. It does not have the capability to be, nor is it intended to be, a 100% accurate model of a motorcycle. A stationary simulator cannot encompass all of the physics required in riding on two wheels. It DOES allow students to practice the techniques that are required to be a safe and proficient rider.
