Safety class for dualsports? I think I learned anything they could possibly teach on a dirtbike in my backyard. Just got to have more respect for the weight. I need to setup one of these classes and make some money.

They have a coed one in October but it sounds like they will do an all female one again next year. If I hear anything I will let you know. The class was full so Kris did not get to go and I would do it again. The three of us can go make a weekend out of it!

The class I took was $395. For me dirt riding is all new and having a soft field to repeatedly drop my bike while learning with little damage to me or the bike was worth the cost. Not to mention the pointers I got for how to tackle certain obstacles and exercises.

I think it's ALL absolutely fantastic. I mean, the experience itself sounds like a blast. And, getting taught along the way in that environment... AWESOME.

LOL, I am going to do the BMW class. It's near me.

I didn't realize she paid to do this one. Just thought it was a bunch of locals that got together.
