Why Fox Riding Academy?
When you look into the details, Fox Riding Academy offers several reasons why we are the one to provide you with the quality training you desire. Our regular training program is only two days long. Using the model provided by the MSF, we can complete your training in one weekend. (Granted it is a long and difficult weekend, but you are not required to attend any week nights).- We have dual sport bikes and a scooter available if you choose to not shift. They are maintained by our professional mechanics and in excellent condition.
- We have a small class - a MAXIMUM of 8 students. Our coaches are updated with the latest techniques to teach you the skills you need to be safe on the street. Our coaches have an average of 26 years of street riding experience and 13 years of being a Rider Coach.
Prerequisites: Ability to ride a bicycle. Full protective attire is required. Must be of legal age to operate a motorcycle on the street.
How Do I Get Started?
The MSF Basic RiderCourse is designed for beginning riders of all ages. Motorcycles are provided for your use during the course. In the classroom, you'll learn about the different types of motorcycles, layout and operation of the basic controls, and how to become a safer, more responsible rider.
You'll review the different types of safety gear worn for protection and comfort. You'll find out how alcohol and other drugs impair your ability to ride safely.
Next, you'll move to the riding range and your RiderCoach (an experienced motorcyclist certified by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation) will start you off with straight-line riding, stopping, shifting, and turning. You'll gradually progress to swerving and emergency braking.
The course concludes with a knowledge test and a riding skill evaluation. Your introduction to the wonderful world of motorcycling has just begun!
