The first time you start learning to do anything is a very important time because that's where your habits begin. When learning anything with a safety aspect ensure that you get the right advice and input the first time. Its much more difficult to 'unlearn' something than to learn it in the first instance. So it is with learning to ride a bike, motorised or not. We can make sure that you get the essential riding skills in a safe professionally supervised and consistent manner. This results in riders that are more capable than riders who learn on their own with the sometimes inconsistent input of friends and family, with all the 'bad habits' that come along with it.
For those who have not ridden a motorcycle before, learning in a safe controlled environment is essential to building confidence. Your first time on a motorcycle can be quite daunting and dealing with the stress can sometimes make it nearly impossible to concentrate on learning. Our instructors are professionally trained in Training :-) So not only will you get industry standard instruction but receive it in a considerate and understanding manner. No matter how quickly or slowly you progress. At A-R-T we make sure you are always comfortable with what you're doing and provide a gentle 'nudge' when its needed. No pressure.
After all, riding is a source of enjoyment and relaxation. So why not start it off that way. Topics covered in our Beginner Class courses include:
INTRODUCTION TO THE ANATOMY OF A MOTORCYCLE
MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING
CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
POSTURE
STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE
UNDERSTANDING THE THROTTLE, CLUTCH AND BRAKES
MOVING OFF AND STOPPING (No throttle OR gear changes and feet down)
MOVING OFF AND STOPPING (No gear changes and feet on pegs)
CHANGING GEARS
After you have mastered these preliminary steps, you are ready to get your license. That's when you can enrol in our more advanced courses. These courses will take you from where the Beginner Class left of, right up to controlling your bike at road speed, in traffic, the all important Road Craft and more.
