You MUST provide your own motorcycle for this riding clinic: All personally owned motorcycles must be street legal, in safe operating condition, and topped off with a full tank of gas. The Instructor will inspect your vehicle to ensure compliance. A T-CLOCK inspection form is available to help you prepare for the class. While the Instructor will not check all items, the T-CLOCK is an excellent tool to ensure your vehicle is in safe operating condition. Straight pipes or excessively loud bikes are NOT allowed and will be determined appropriate at the discretion of the Instructor. Tuition will not be refunded if your vehicle does not pass, or if mechanical issues/failure prevent you from completing the course.

You must bring proof of insurance and ownership/current registration for the motorcycle used in the workshop. If the registration and/or insurance are not in your name, than you must bring written permission from the owner allowing you to use the vehicle during the class.

If you are under 18, a parent or legal guardian must sign the required waiver form the first night of class. If a parent/guardian is unable to attend the first portion of the class, you may download and print the two-page waiver and have your parent/guardian have it notarized. You must then bring the notarized waiver with you to the first part of the class. You will not be allowed to ride on the course until the Instructor has an acceptable waiver on file. If you are not allowed to continue for this reason, your full tuition will be forfeited.
