As there will be a theory class before the riding day, there will be no new theory taught on the riding day. We will be implementing the techniques learned during the classroom theory on the practical riding day. Theory will be held on Wednesday August 25th from 7:00pm – 10:oopm at Pacific Riding School, in the class room. The techniques and training in this course are designed for the street rider who is seeking more confidence and control in riding technique and it is open to all types of motorcycles. Topics range from body position, advanced braking, steering, and many other techniques.

The riding day is Saturday August 28th from 8:00am – 4:00pm and will be held at the Abbotsford Tradex parking lot (http://www.fvtradex.com/Page1566.aspx), offering a safe controlled environment in which to practice the techniques that you will be learning. Speed is not an issue, as the point of the course is to build technique and skill, rather than to go fast.

Other course requirements are:

• Must have own bike in good working condition
• Must have motorcycle riding boots that cover the ankles and shins
• Must have motorcycle riding gloves that cover the wrists
• Must have motorcycle riding gear either a leather two piece (jacket and pants) or textile two piece (jacket and pants)
• Must have a full face motorcycle riding helmet that is at least DOT or SNELL approved
• Earplugs are recommended

Hope you had a great 2009 riding season, but as we start the 2010 season we like to remind you to approach it with the same focus and respect you have shown during your time at PRS.

Pacific Riding School is returning in 2010 with the same enthusiastic team. Give us a hand and tell a friend about your Pacific Experience. They can check us out at show or on the web at pacificridingschool.com. Course fees will be increasing in 2010, so get them booked at the show to keep 09’ rate for any of our 2010 courses. We are looking forward to seeing you at the show.

Ride Smart & Ride Safe
Your PRS Family,
Kramer, Dat & Fooker

1. It’s cold out, roads and tires alike! That means if you’re still riding, grip is very poor in these conditions. Add to that wet leaves that are hard to see and you have some of the worst riding conditions of the year. Slow down, use a clear clean visor, and use your head!
2. In these conditions, mint tires are required. If you’re trying to squeeze the last dollar out of your tires (new ones in the spring syndrome!), it’s time to park the bike.
3. Don’t just park it! No work now = lots more work, and maybe money wasted in the spring. Mark will get Rose to post up my storage notes. Normally just for my PRSMechanic students, but we want to help those that couldn’t make the Maintenance 101 course (silly you, what were you thinking?!!) The storage class was on the 24th, but I might squeeze in another in a few weeks if there’s interest. Otherwise, check out the PRS site in a few days, or just find some notes on-line. There’s an at-home storage service available for PRS students, let me know if you’re interested.
4. If you missed signing up for any of our maintenance courses, we can put you on the list for next year, just send me a request.
5. See you at the bike show!
