Great News! One of the best training schools in the country - Stayin' Safe is bringing their "on road" course to southern Wisconsin.

I've arranged with Stayin' Safe to reserve a class for friends of LRN2RYD. The two day class will be offered on May 30 and 31. The tuition is $975 and includes a night's lodging and a few meals. GOOD NEWS - SAVE $100. When you sign up for this, you'll only have to pay $875. Make sure you mention LRN2RYD in your comments.
The class will have 2 instructors and be limited to 6 students. We'll do all our training on the road and this will be a great way to improve every aspect of your riding.
Right now we have 3 seats sold and 3 seats open. I would like to have an answer by 3/25.
Below is a blurb I compiled about the program. It's a bit long, so . . .
Stayin’ Safe Motorcycle Training pioneered on-street rider training in the U.S. and was developed to teach advanced "road reading" techniques in real-world environments. Refined over more than two decades, the Stayin’ Safe method combines proven street strategies with real-time coaching techniques for an incomparable learning experience. Running continuously since 1993, Stayin’ Safe has trained hundreds of riders, many of whom have described the Stayin’ Safe experience as nothing short of revolutionary to their riding.
It all began with "Mr. Safety" - - - Larry Grodsky was widely recognized as the leading motorcycle safety expert in the country. A long-term MSF instructor and site coordinator, Larry had been involved in motorcycle safety instruction since 1980 and trained an estimated 5,000 riders. Much of his work was devoted to creating the Stayin' Safe Motorcycle Training program. Larry’s unique program set the standard for on-street, real-world training and continues to be recognized as the premier on-street training program in the United States. His incisive column, "Stayin’ Safe", was a mainstay in Rider Magazine since 1988. Unfortunately, the riding world lost Larry Grodsky in the Spring of 2006. His legacy survives in today’s Stayin’ Safe program and in a compilation of his select works from 18+ years with Rider Magazine. Entitled “Stayin’ Safe: The Art and Science of Riding Really Well” this long-anticipated book was assembled and edited by our own Pete Tamblyn and released in 2007 by Whitehorse Press (available at
www.whitehorsepress.com ).
Today, Stayin' Safe is owned by Eric Trow, veteran Stayin' Safe instructor and author of Rider Magazine's new "Riding Well" motorcycling proficiency column. The Stayin' Safe program is operated by Trow and long-time senior instructors Pete Tamblyn, Randy Kuklis--each having trained under Larry Grodsky--along with a growing number of other highly-qualified on-street instructors. Stayin' Safe's program, now running for 16 consecutive years, remains true to Grodsky's vision while also introducing expanded offerings designed to benefit even more riders in more locations around the country and around the world.

Just because the miles separate you from “famous” roads like Deal’s Gap or the Pacific Coast Hwy, doesn’t mean that your route map has to read like an empty sheet of graph paper. Within a few hours of Chicagoland and Milwaukee, we’ve put together a sport tour that’s packed with plenty of curves and real world learning situations that you can put to work for you wherever you ride.
We’ll start with our usual breakfast meeting and morning warm-up drills then head west across the rolling terrain of the state’s southern corridor. Thanks to Wisconsin’s famous dairy industry, the state possesses hundreds of little known, but well paved county roads--full of hills and turns to entertain the motorcyclist. You can expect relatively light traffic on these great little farm roads. We promise that you’ll enjoy comfortable lodging, a great dinner and a stein or two of the famous local brew. Toward the western edge of the state, as we near the Mississippi Valley, you’ll encounter some steeper terrain--not unlike that of our Appalachian training tours--before we round the bend and head for our final destination.
