The Bermuda Motorcycle Racing Club (BMRC) will be launching a newly developed Riding Clinic on Saturday, February 7th, 2015. The Pitsterpro Riding Clinic has been created to teach the attendees the basic fundamentals of motorcycle riding such as of braking, throttle control, corner entry and corner exit whilst gaining an understanding of road surface conditions.
President of the BMRC, Cyril H. Whitter III, said, “With the increased awareness of the need for rider education on our island we have decided to launch our Riding Clinic. Our goal is to facilitate the learning and development of our current and future riders to make them more aware of motorcycle riding in its entirety. The ultimate goal is to produce safer riders and reduce the amount of accidents on our streets due to rider error."
There will be two courses offered:
Riding 101 - Learn How to Ride:
The Riding 101 course will be a weekly course allowing "drop-ins". The course will focus on teaching the attendees how to ride a motorcycle. This course is geared towards first time riders from ages 4 years old and up.
