What you will learn
This course builds on your basic skills and focuses on real-world scenarios: traffic, low-traction situations, and emergency responses.
Module 1 Braking Techniques
Refine both front and rear brake use, improve straight-line and corner braking, and practice emergency stops to reduce stopping distance while staying in control.
Module 2 Cornering Techniques
Apply countersteering, choose better lines, and control entry speed and lean angle so curves feel smoother, more predictable, and more stable.
Module 3 Hazard Avoidance & Swerving
Practice quick swerves, obstacle avoidance, and proper body positioning so you can react quickly and safely when something unexpected appears in your path.
Module 4 Traffic & Situational Awareness
Work on visual scanning, space management, and lane positioning so you can better anticipate traffic, intersections, merges, and lane changes in real-world riding.
Module 5 Slow-Speed Control
Improve clutch/throttle coordination, balance, and low-speed maneuvers like U-turns and tight turns—perfect for parking lots, neighborhoods, and stop-and-go traffic.
Course format & requirements
The Intermediate Motorcycle Skills Course is typically a one-day, 6–8 hour training held in a closed-course environment so you can focus on skills without traffic distractions.
