As the son of lifetime Harley rider, my father never let me get my own bike. We rode dirt bikes all the time, my first was a YZ80...I still remember the first time that powerband hit lol. Keeping me away from the Harley and street riding he really only succeeded in peaking my interest in it. After spending some time abroad in the Navy I decided to take a BRC, in WA state. I learned so much! My dirt bike knowledge helped me out alot but i walked away from the 3 day class, with not only more knowledge but also the confidence I will need should i encounter an emergency. Im sure if I would have taken a class similar to this one my dad would of let me ride....shoot take the class with them, there were lots of couples and parents in the class.
