I am a firm believer that drivers education is the best way to
improve ones safety and enjoyment regardless if you are driving a
car, an ATV, motorcycle or sidecar.
There are only a handful of sidecar classes offered in the US and as
far as I know the Adventure Sidecar classes are the only ones using
KLR 650s and the only ones done on dirt. The techniques taught
translate directly into street skills-the dirt surface requires
finesse. If you can do it here you can do it on the street, in the
rain or in gravel!
Adventure Sidecar Novice S/TEP classes for the 2009 season will be
available through Hood River Community Education on the following
weekends:
May 8, 9 & 10
June 19,20 & 21
July 17,18 & 19
August 7,8 & 9
The course fee is $225. Call Hood River Community Education (541)386-2055 to
register. More information
can be found on our website adventuresidecar.com
Prior motorcycle experience is not needed for the novice class. We
will cover basic motorcycle operation as part of the class. You must
be at least 16 years old and have a valid driver's license to take
the class. If you are under 18 years old you must have a waiver
signed by a parent or legal guardian. Each class is limited to 12
students for safety and quality reasons.
You may take the class using your sidecar or trike or one of ours. If
you choose to use your own rig for the class, you must have proof of
insurance and the machine must be in a safe operating condition.
Be aware the driving exercises will be conducted on a grass lot.
